Except people that got problems don't really spam the forum with new threads. The way how you people keep insisting I am am wrong to think crossfire is unreliable...all the crossfire users that posted in the AMD new driver release topics saying how it sometimes break crossfire support, getting worse performance than before, having to roll back to older drivers...are you telling me these are all just my imagination, or people are simply lying, or you just think all of them are noobs that don't know what the hell they should do with the drivers...rather than there's problem with the drivers themselves?
I don't really see the point in you arguing your case against a couple of guys that actually run dual cards happily, basing your argument on assumptions.
Actually it's not like that. Despite what people say about AMD driver being bad, I myself would say that for single GPU, they ain't really any worse than Nvidia...however, driver reliability greatly reduce when moving onto to crossfire rather than running a single GPU card, and it is not exactly a secret.
As mention above crossfire driver support tends improve further down the line after the product is launched, but why can't people get the full performance of what they paid for, and instead have to wait rather than on day 1? I don't care what excuse they got (crossfire is a complex tech yadi yadi yada), but to me they are simply rushing a product to the shelf without going through proper finalisation. People buy finished product, not to become guinea pigs beta tester for companies for free.
Right...leaving problems that could get the users pulling their hair out and still can't resolve make more sense than having product more user-friendly and problem-free? May be everyone should just toss windows and go back to using DOS or use linux then...because it is more challenging? Most people that have been PC gamers for years, they would be a compentent PC-user to at least above average level...and if those people can't resolve driver related problem, then it is clearly the companies' fault, as they are selling a product toward consumers, not specialist users. While a few of you with with crossfire are problem-free, I have seen quite at lot of people posting that they had tried crossfire and swear they will NEVER going down that path again because of the stress it cause them. I still clearly recall a certain 5970 owner make a post about he was having driver issue, and clearly know what he's doing...but ATI/AMD users here were helpfully calling him as noob, and the problem was never resolved.
