    Anyone who has a notebook or a desktop system with ATi GPUs in Crossfire should try this program. Basically it forces Crossfire for games that are not optimized for or do not use Crossfire. Someone posted it at another forum site and I thought I try it out. This program seems to work, and works very well too. I tried it on the F.E.A.R 2 demo and I went from about 20-29 fps @ 1920x1200 everything maxxed, 4xAA 16AF to almost double that (I was hitting 60 fps, which seems to be the limit, and I had drops to about 40 fps). You can get it here

    hahaha! I got a total of 8 responses, while you got a total of only 2! My thread is better than yours! neener neener neener!

    But yeah, my apologies, must have been buried beneath the newer thread.

    The only game where I see this thing working is in F.E.A.R 2, which is a moot point now because Catalyst 9.2 fixes the Crossfire Issue reportedly, and it doesn't work with Steam games I noticed.
