Hello Everyone,
I have built myself a pretty new Rig hear recently I'll post my spec's:

Motherboard- Asus M5 A97 R2.0
CPU- ADM FX- 6200 6 core OC@4.1Ghz
RAM- 8Gigs of DDR3 1800
HD- Samsung SSD
Video- AMD HD 7770 GDDR5 1GB x2 (Crossfire) both running at a GPU clock of 1200 and a MEM clock of 1400Mhz

My problem is I am having frame rate problems from my crossfire. I had issues with my computer accepting the crossfire when I put it in my computer kept saying driver not installed correctly and not seeing the other card or my screen just going black. I eventually got it to see the other card and I stopped having the screen issues but now I am still having the fps problems. Since WoW is a widely known game I will use it as a example. I usually play the game in window mode I did on my old system and it ran great. In windowed mode on "High" I am only getting about 30-70fps in populated area's and 70+ when I am out and about "usually."

However when I put WoW into Full Screen to get use of my Crossfire I actually lose performance I drop to 10-20fps http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/6563/74i8.jpg
In other Games like Skyrim I can't really tell a difference in weather or not I had the one card installed and when I went to crossfire. Also with the new Rage game I can actually watch the frames blur and load as i look around which makes game play almost un-playable because of it. I am at my wits end with this and I have looked and read forums everywhere but it seems like no one has the same problem I am having. Any help or ideas would be great and much appreciated.

I didn't realize CF was broken. I do have the new drivers I even picked up the latest Beta drivers to see if it would fix some of the issues I am having but so far I don't see any difference. I uninstalled all my drivers took out one of the cards and reinstalled the drivers and I went from 18fps (crossfire) in one area to 90fps (single card)
