Eyefinity + Crossfire help

[kg648]

Right guys really need some help here

My specs are as follows

i7 920
12gb DDR3 Tripple Channel
2x 5870 1gb
850w PSU

I am driving 3x 22" monitors at 1920x1080 in eyefinity.

Blackops is fine, however Crysis 2 is not I see god knows how many threads about people having issues with this but no answer. ( best I can get is 25fps with single or both cards without vsync )

Really feeling my second 5870 purchase was not worth the while.

I don't get the flickering issue which everyone mentions.

I have tried fiddling with the settings in CCC does not seem to make the slightest difference, same for Radeon Pro.

I have installed the latest drivers 11.4 with the caps profile but no help.

I have installed all the motherboard/chipset drivers for my motherboard.

I have tried different hard disks including SSD, another PSU incase my 850 was not enough but seems the same on a 1200w PSU.

Can anyone also recommend any games which would be very playable and really push my cards?

However the above is really annoying me, I have been trying to fix this for over a week and is getting rather depressing starting to feel my £150 may of gone better to a counsellor!

All guesswork mind but you could try overclocking the cpu, disabling hyperthreading, reinstalling the game

Is the crossfire actually working? Check the "Show CrossfireX status Icon" option and see if it appears when you start the game. Also, how do your cards stack up in 3DMark against similar rigs? Close (means it's a problem with Crysis), or far off (problem with the cards/drivers)?

Sorry where can I see the show crossfirex icon option?

http://3dmark.com/3dmv/3138305 Just ran, the first time I stupidily had outlook/ssh/firefox open and claimed I was below my target for the specs, after closing and rerunning claims it is equal or better for my target score.

The Show CrossFireX status option is one of the menu options from the notification area icon - it should list all the outputs, find the one your monitor is connected to (they will all be listed as the name of the card, the right one has all the options not greyed-out) and then its under crossfire settings. Sounds like its the software though...

Couple of things to check - are your CCC settings overriding the application settings? Are your CCC settings being applied (easiest to check is manual fan speed - I have a problem where the CCC won't apply settings unless its running as Admin).
