I'm having strange problems with my crossfire setup of 5850's, and was hoping someone could shed some light onto just what is going on with them and how to fix them.
The main issue i am having is that in a game regardless of how high fps the game is running it feels like it is chugging along at 10-15fps.
Fraps could say the game is 120fps but it still feels low and unplayable.
It does this at complete random, i have tried checking and unchecking every imaginable setting in the CCC, sometimes the game would suddenly become playable, but after a reboot it would run terrible again even with the settings that previously worked.
I've tried locking the clocks high by registry tweak + bios edit, updating to the latest drivers and used driver cleaner but the problem persists.
My display drivers also crash pretty often and then windows recovers them. Or when booting up my pc it has suddenly decided one of my two monitors will now run at a terrible resolution so i have to go into CCC and disable the monitor, then re-detect it for it to work again. That usually works except lastnight trying to detect again would crash the drivers again. Did this 5 times untill my screen was nothing but a bunch of garbage.
Both cards run fine on their own, its in crossfire they seem to hate each other.
The rest of my system is: Core I5 @ 3.6Ghz. 12GB ram, 2TB Raid0 Hdd configuration, Asus P7P55 LX Mobo, 600w PSU.
Does anybody have any idea how i can fix this? Thanks.
