    I'm curious if a single 295x2 is presented to the OS or displayed within Catalyst as "Crossfire" enabled? If "ABC" game does not support "crossfire" then are you going to only see one GPU on this card active?

    vga cooling conundrum

    I have two separate issues. I have two XFX 6950 cards in crossfire. Shaders are not unlocked / stock bios. From day one of installing these cards GPU1 always showed much higher temps by 10 to 20C from idle all the way to 100% load. If I swap the cards location GPU1 still shows the higher...
