    I hooked up my M17x R2 to an HDTV and it drops my FPS in every game 50%. Then after I unplug HDMI and restart my laptop, the FPS is still 50% of what I'm suppose to be. It almost seems like I'm running on 1GPU. I checked GPU-Z and crossfire is enabled. I system restored to a time before I hooked up HDMI, and my FPS returns to 100%. I've tried 3 HDTVs. same results with all 3. I'm using drivers 10.4. any idea what's going on? thanks.
