Open CCC go to Performance>CrossfireX and make sure it is enabled and that should be that (assuming you have the XFire bridge connected). If you want to check in game, get the latest MSI Afterburner beta and use its on screen display.

thanks , is there anything i need to do with games or does crossfire automatically kick in?

it's automatic although you will usually need the CPS profiles installed as well as the drivers http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/crossfirex-app-profiles.aspx

See you done your homework on dual cards before you splashed ~£900 then.

As long as the bridge is connected to the cards and XFire is enabled in CCC, all you need is

1. Games that support XFire (most do, but some don't)

2. To run the game in full screen (XFire doesn't work in windowed mode)

Apart from that, there is nothing else, enjoy your gaming
