    BF3 - Single Radeon 6850 runs better than 2x 6850 in Crossfire

    I pulled out the top 6850 and only tried the lower 6850. Received great performance still in BF3. Previously the monitor was connected to the top 6850 and Crossfire was disabled, so I am looking at that as a successful test of that card. I got fed up with it. I pulled out both 6850's and...

    BF3 - Single Radeon 6850 runs better than 2x 6850 in Crossfire

    Yes. I am supposed to be running 12.4 now. I uninstalled 12.6. No matter which version I've tried, the results are the same.

    BF3 - Single Radeon 6850 runs better than 2x 6850 in Crossfire

    I understand that and have heard that, but the game is supported by a CAP profile and is pretty new. I would expect Crossfire to be supported by BF3/BF3 supported by Crossfire. To answer your first question, I bought two of them planning to use them in separate computers, but I had never setup...

    BF3 - Single Radeon 6850 runs better than 2x 6850 in Crossfire

    Other games seemed to run fine, but I only play games such as UT2004, QuakeLive, and TF2 other than BF3. However, even when running on a single 6850 Windows as a whole seems to be a lot quicker when changing windows, etc. UT2004 seemed somewhat slow at 1920x1080 on higher settings, which I would...

    No, but I will probably be doing this soon. I actually had to RMA one of the cards earlier this year because I found out that it was causing severe graphics problems - quick Windows lock ups, graphic driver resets, and BSODs.

    The only thing I can do is swap them. I'm fairly certain that I only have two PCI-E x16 slots on the mobo. I could be wrong. I'm fairly certain I did this a long time ago too though.

    Here is an album of screenshots with Crossfire enabled. Note that my FPS REALLY dropped near the last few pics when I was specing and overlooking most of the map: http://imgur.com/a/9MsJV#0 Crossfire disabled - Looks much better: http://imgur.com/a/oruuj#0 Looks to me that the CPU just...

    I have a new in box Coolermaster 500w or 550w that I can try.

    Thansk for your reply. If Crossfire isn't enabled, why is one card smoother than when Crossfire is enabled and why would GPU-Z/AMD Overdrive say that it is running in Crossfire mode? I'll see if I can get some screenshots with that command you listed and the GPU usage while in game.

    Yes, I have been running the latest for a while. The latest for my board is F8, IIRC. Also, thanks for your reply. I haven't been able to get help anywhere else so far.

    BF3 - Single Radeon 6850 runs better than 2x 6850 in Crossfire

    All, I am having performance issues in BF3. I have 2x Gigabyte HD 6850 GVR685OC-1GD Radeon 6850 video cards in Crossfire mode. I will post the rest of my system specs below. Basically, Battlefield 3 runs better with Crossfire disabled. It is smooth as silk when running at 1920x1080 on a...

    HighPoint RocketRAID Controllers and SMART

    I have two FreeNAS file servers running the latest version of FreeNAS. I have a RAID 5 array on a RocketRAID 2210 in a P4 2.4GHz system and a RAID 5 array on a RocketRAID 2300 in a Phenom 9600 system. My question: Is there any way to get SMART status and/or other disk stats reporting to...
