    Hey guys, i've recently upgraded my m17x r2 to dual ati 5870. After getting lots of help in the forum, i managed to get both gpu's working and getting amazing performance in bf3 with crossfire.

    Then i decided that was time to put a little extra, so i went for the triple monitor eyefinity configuration. Unfortunately i only managed to get lots of BSODs trying to make it work, but there was no way of getting it with the eyefinity conf. and crossfire enabled at the same time. If i disable crossfire, bf3 works just fine.

    After making a little research i found out that looks like it is a bf3 problem, but i still see some guys managed to get it working. Any idea guys??

    hey just a quick question for you.. when you updated your GPU drivers (if you did) did you have any BSODs? im in the process of trying to update mine but i keep getting a 0x0000003b stop error after i choose to restart(after installing the driver and CCC)

    most of the problems where caused because i had different VBIOS in the GPUs.
