I made a thread about this a month ago regarding my 5850's not working as they should. Some reasons were that i had a 16x/4x motherboard or my PSU (650W) was not strong enough. Well since then i brought a Asus M5A99X Evo 8x/8x motherboard. And a 850W XFX PSU.
But im still having problems..
I loaded up Dirt 2 and went from 43fps - 75fps. Which was a good start. But this was not a game i tried before.
Oblivion i was getting about 10fps increase in crossfire. But a point in game were it dropped my fps to 32. I disabled crossfire and was getting 40fps at that same spot.
Team Fortress 2 was a big problem before it played around 15fps. I tried it this time and was hitting 130fps but felt abit stuttery. So i change server in case it was just server lag. Then i was getting 35fps but stutters like its playing at 5fps. And does this everytime i try to play it now.
GTA IV in benchmark gets a couple fps increase. But when i actually play the game its jerky and drops to 13fps while a single card dont go below 25fps.
This is at 5760x1080.
Phenom II x4 @3.8ghz
8gb DDR ram 1600mhz
Win 7 OS
Sapphire 5850 vapor 1gb
Sapphire 5850 extreme 1gb
Any ideas?
EDIT: With an Xfire bridge does it need to be compatable with your graphics card? Because my friend give me his that i think come with a 4870.
