I read a review on NewEgg someone claiming that under Vista 64-bit only one GPU is running... anyone heard of this issue or is this guy smoking crack?
 
Smoking Crack...I had an X2 for a while and had not problems with performance on x64. My case and power just couldn't handle it.
 
Smoking crack... ATI's Crossfire support is good in both XP and Vista.

GOOD IF YOU HATE PLAYING CRYSIS! :mad:

no, other than that, it works great :p
 
Ok good deal... thank guys, just wanted to be sure since I never heard of this issue before.
 
I am currently unable to get Crysis to use the 2nd GPU on my 3870X2, and my Crysis GPU benchmark numbers are almost identical to other mainstream website reviews I've seen of the X2, when they're reporting use of Vista x64. I have a feeling nobody is getting X2 Crossfire+Crysis+Vista64 working yet except with beta xfirex drivers perhaps.

So, yes there are issues with the drivers and/or game. I am installing UT3 at the moment so I will report back if there are any problems with that. Warcraft 3 and all Source and HL1 engine games are using both GPUs with cat8.2. Crysis is the only game I've seen that doesn't function correctly(And yes, v1.1 game reporting MGPU enabled, and forcing it enabled in cfg).
