Crossfire : Not impressed at all!

the performance increases are anywhere from 20%-50% depending on game.

GRAW without Crossfire profile 1280X1024 max details 35 - 45fps

With Crossfire 1280X1024 75-90 fps.

Those going Crossfire usually know they are not going to get a 100% increase, the value for money issue is realative to the persons income and concept of money. These issues have already been beaten to death in other threads. D3D games can be enhanced simply by the user even if ATI has not profiled them yet.

The primary issue for our friend above is the dropouts back to desktop, which we should be able to resolve between us -psu, bios, and setup options , overclocks etc.

AFAIK the last major issues with Crossfire were the screen ripple and screen shake problems. These have reportedly been resolved with Cat 6.5, the screen shake issue experienced by some is supposed to have been reduced greatly or even eliminated completley.

Well I am using the Enermax 620 Liberty, which many sites recommend as a decent PSU. Some games I play perform perfectly, Hitman, EQ2 are examples. No crashes. I understand after some reading last night that my problem with BF2 could very well be the game and not Crossfire as a lot of people are saying 1.3 has major issues with Mods.

I was very frustrated last night as BF2 kept crashing and then I went to play RO and it started misbehaving as well. Surprisingly my PC appears to enjoy the weekend as much as I do because I have been playing BF2 for near enough 4 hours now and no problems whatsoever.

Thanks for all your input/advice. It is greatly appreciated.

Have a great Weekend

Hi Sharkypal,

Give the fan settings a bash with atitool, you may find that it helps stability considerably.
