    Hi everyone. i am user of alienware m17x with ati 4870xf and i spot something strange playing with DIRT2 .pefomace is great on all stages around 60 fps with HD resolution and ultra settings exept- LA stages- performance drop on La stages so much that gaming is impossible in first few curves on that stages-but when i off second card perfomance obviously drop to arround 35fps but game keep that frame rates without serious drop frame- my question is anyone have solution for that- i mean perhaps change some setting on catalyst centre?. by the way game is patched.
    i know that is many issue with crossfire-but as i write b4 all stages work great exept LA stages thats make me confiused
    w'll be great if somebody reply :)

    i don't remember any stages giving me any issues in dirt2 when i still had my 4870s.
    Maybe a driver issue ?
