    I just finished a reinstall of Windows 7 and CCC is telling me that my ati 4870 cards are running in crossfire at 60hz. BUT Speccy is telling me that crossfire is disabled and running at 59hz. I'm a bit stumped. Any thoughts? Recommendations?

    never tried speccy, tried gpu-z?
    also hows general performance? what you'd expect from crossfire?

    i'll try dl speccy and run it, see what it says for my system.

    *edit*
    as i suspected, mine says crossfire disabled under speccy as well.
    i assure you it's enabled. real world and benchmarks can confirm.

    try downloading gpu-z and confirming with that if you want to make sure

    Yeah, GPU-Z confirms that crossfire is functioning. Performance and benchmarks confirm this. I wonder what is going wrong with Speccy. I really like all the information that it provides. Thanks for the post!
