Crossfire X flickering, and loss of fps?

While I finally got Crysis 2 to work it's only with 1 card, still averaging 30-40fps. When I enabled Xfire, the whole screen flickers, you can run around and still play but the lighting just flashes constant like there's an lighting storm going on in the game. While I also tried other games, the frame rates would constantly go up and down even with no movements of the game. Such as Killing floor would be 100+ then 70+ with just me standing there. Anyone knows is this a Crysis 2 problem or a video card issue. Drivers are 11.3 from ATI site.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

For myself I had the same issues as you are describing, much like most of us Crossfire users. It seems to be a problem with this game. So far I have followed others and renames my Crysis2.exe to Fear2.exe
This has fixed the flickering issue. Hope it helps you out.


Cheers.

 

Too bad that fix wont fix bad company 2 flickering. So bad we coined flicker kill.

 

No more flickering in BFBC2 for me. Using 11.3 drivers and latest cap. I used Jokers gamesettings file and I think that fixed it. Haven't had a flicker in several months. See attachment if you want to try it. Remove ".txt".

For Crysis 2, flickering is gone for me as well. But XF performance still sucks. Crysis released a patch recently. What fixed flickering for me was using the same drivers stated above and lowering my brightness setting to about 50%. Should be fixed with new AMD 11.4 drivers and CAP when it comes out....hopefully.
