Hello,
I have been trying to figure out whats going on with my rig for 2 days now. I am getting no performance gains in Crysis Warhead with crossfire enabled. The average Fps doesnt move at all, and gpu-z is showing one gpu at 0%. I have all the latest drivers and even reinstalled windows today. I can play BF:BC2 with crossfire enable and nearly double my fps. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My specs:
Phenom II x4 955BE @ 3.8Ghz
2x ASUS 6870 Direct CU 915/1050
4Gb RAM
650 Watt Antec Earthwatts

Hello,
Thanks for the fast reply. I done exactly what you said and I saw no improvements. Here are some benchmark results. Also I noticed you must run gpuz twice to see the usage of both gpus. They are running at about 50-60% each.

This is what gpuz was showing after playing BFBC2, as you can see it uses 100% on both gpus. This is not the case in crysis though, as it only uses 50-60% of each gpu. Also when i enable vsync it locks it at 24 fps.
