Works great in EyeFinity. Been playing for 5 hours straight, I didn't find any issues with it. It's also rock stable and hasn't crashed at all on me (using Catalyst 13.8 beta2 drivers) unlike some other new games.

Good FPS too :).

Recommend a buy to anyone who has played any of the previous Saints Row games, GTA games, or Prototype/Infamous (yeah, it plays a lot like prototype now because of superpowers).

Crashed on me 3 times. Took me 24 hours to complete the story and most objectives. I'm running 13.8 Beta, ran at 5760x1200 on 1x7970. It's smooth and everything works well in eyefinity: centered hud, rendered cutscenes centered, pre-rendered cut scenes are locked at 16:9, FOV is correct (although I'd like more or a camera farther back). It's basically saints row the 3rd with TONS of added content... and that's a good thing. I Completely Recommend It.

aw crap.... and i played 1920x1080 for 6h coop with a friend...

But the Performance was horrible! around 25-40 FPS and sometimes would drop to 15 fps.

Guess thats the 13.6 driver and my two 7970 without crossfire Profile.
Gonna continue in Eyefinity for sure! ... and i should update drivers somewhen...

I ran on 2x6970 crossfire and it works like a dream (never had any crashes). Update to the latest drivers for starters (it boosts FPS, if you look at the changelog), otherwise it might be some kind of 7970-specific issue.

RE: crashes 3 times in 24 hours is not that much, only once per 8 hours on average (which is like what once a day?). I haven't actually even played for >8 hour stretches of this game, so maybe I just narrowly avoided the crashes. For a game that auto-saves pretty much all the time, restarting once per day is not too big of a deal.

13.8 Change logs...
"Saints Row 4: Performance improves up to 25% at 1920x1280 with Ultra settings enabled"

Well then, time to reactivate crossfire and try in Eyefinity.

Edit: nope... getting 15-30fps drops on Ultra 99% GPU load
getting 150-20FPS on Low settings and 30% GPU load
