Above worked great of course. Thanks again for the link.

Getting about ~33 fps on High/1x/16x @ 5760x1080 with 2x5870's, 10.1. Didn't look right of course seeing others numbers so I disabled CF. Jumped to ~45. :D & :x & :cry:

Going to browse a bit for some info on it, then try going back to 9.12 hotfix and see what it doesnt do.

I "upgraded" to 10.1, FPS dropped horridly, nearly by half :cry: . Switched back to 9.12 Hotfix, will have to find out what the deal is....

No change going back to 9.12 hotfix. :( Back on 10.1 now with CF disabled.

Have never seen the CF logo in any testing.

It's weird, Crossfire seems really hit & miss. Some people (including me) report it gives them significant fps increases...mine went from 33 to 44 avg, but others find it kills their performance. Really odd, and a bit of a nightmare to troubleshoot I guess.

Yeah, it's a tough one. Another un-install / wipe / re-install of 10.1 was no help. This is exactely what I was getting in NFS:Shift, which I should probably test and see if it's back to fail with CF enabled.

Fairly frustrating, but not much I can do. :x :shock:

I could not play the game when it was maxed. I now have everything on High and 1X, 1X for AA and AF and HBAO off and I get 30-40 is this right I am running 5760X1200. I have noticed mixed results though, sometimes I get higher sometimes when the game loads it is really low.

I still can't load the game from steam I have to go and launch from the exe file.

What is HBAO?

I still reckon you should be getting more than that with your 5870s compared to my 5850s, but at least it sounds playable. HBAO is something to do with "Ambient Occlusion"...some clever shadow malarky I think. By the way, off topic, what do you think of your Fanatec wheel?

I really like it a lot. I used to have a G25 and the fanatec is better by far. Just feels like quality and is very very strong. Back to the game I am going to try a couple things. I might be getting more then that now because I played again and noticed everything was on high, and it was smooth as silk. The first time I played I was having issues with the game not even loading it was crashing before I even got in the game. This was from launching from steam. I then went to the root folder and it then worked fine. I am going to launch the game crank the settings and see what I get. Here is a video of me playing Dirt 2 with the wheel.

Sorry for taking so long to get back. Im running an Intel Core i7 @ 3.78 , Ati 5870 @ 900 / 1300 and im getting about 35-45 frames with everything on high and AA @ 4X

Every once in awhile the game just closes randomly. But other than that it runs pretty dang smooth. My temps since im watercooling after playing BFBC2 for an hour are around 40 degress celcius
