    Well i'm currently running 11.2 with cap4 on with 5870's. pretty much in all my games i'm running 30-50 fps with crossfire on and off. I'm not really getting a performance increase in crossfire but when monitoring both cards during games the load is always around 0-40 :confused:

    Have a look in uninstall programs make sure you don't have any old caps in there.I would also remove cap 4 & install again if that don't work try another cap to compare results.

    why do you need full load if you already have enough frame rate?

    Well it's still a problem, all my games drop below 30 fps its not the fact that i see the difference but i can feel the difference when i move my mouse and aim and it totally throws me off.

    If crossfire isn't doing what its supposed to be doing then i want it fixed :/
