4890 crossfire pwns BF3 @ 2560x1440

I literally don't understand how my 4890 only manages 30 fps on all low settings at 1680x1050...

I'll try your driver settings because this seems uncanny.

big fps drop and a little stutter with the latest drivers try 11.11c instead and try it on ultra at a higher res if possible

I had loads of problems with my 4890 crossfire
seems that ATI stopped supporting them when the 5870 series came out.
and the drivers gradually got worse.

good to see your setup doing well at higher resolutions.

Most of the 10.x drivers around that time were crap, regardless what card you had.

Shocker as old card works ok with old direct x version.

Yep, dx11 features will certainly cripple most high end dx11 cards on ultra at 2560, even at 1920x1200 with the highest settings and 4x msaa the game played very stuttery for me. Still, if you can live without dx11 then all is good op.

This worked an absolute treat, thanks mate! Been able to bump the resolution up to 1920x1200 (my native) and put settings on high bar aa.

Now I am playing battlefield 3 not battleslideshow 0.5!
