Hi,
I just crossfired two XFX HD 6870 cards together. It has led to some performance increase (Using 3dmark) 12.5%, but that doesn't seem like very much.
Is there something I am doing wrong?
I have the 13.9 version (not the beta) of Catalyst.
When I go performance, AMD Crossfire, I have it to enable. Is that all there is to it?
Most of the specs are below. The first score is after the crossfire.
Thanks in advance!
