Hi all; first off thank you in advance.
I just got my second xfx 5850 yesterday. It's the same model as my first 5850. Whenever I enable crossfire in ccc I get stuttering/jerky behavior in games. Even in NON 3D games. I am running 2 crossfire bridges.
ex: Plants vs Zombie. No 3D but it's stuttering/jerky. I disable crossfire and it's smooth as can be.
ex: Team fortress 2, Same thing, jerky and stuttering but I disable crossfire and it's smooth.
If I turn on net graph in team fortress 2 I get 200+ fps and even though it's jerky and stuttering (but still playable) the net graph numbers never drop.
I run Heaven Benchmark 2.0 with crossfire enabled and I get a very respectable score for my system (just shy of 1100 and I run an i7 920).
So the "numbers" look to me like they reflect no stuttering/jerkiness but yet I have the problem. Any ideas anyone? I have a good quality psu so I don't think power is the issue.
Latest ATI drivers + the new ATI profiles. Running Win7 64. Asus rampage ii. All temps are good. Just a mild overclock on the 920.
