    Hello guys, I am curious about the performance of my Alienware when crossfire enabled, I actually get lower fps in games. For example in Bad Company 2 I get better fps with one card, and when I run the Mafia 2 Benchmark, I get better fps with one card. I am using the 12.2 drivers. Is there any program that I could download to make sure both cards are working correctly?

    Virgle, double check that crossfire is enabled, then run 3dmark11 benchmark. Lets see what your numbers are like

    Also, monitor your temps while the bench is running. Download HWINFO64
