Hey All, got a new graphic card setup - 2 x Sapphire Dual-X Boost 7970s. Nice cards so far. Crossfire is working in games when they are Fullscreen but not in Windowed mode. Is there any workaround for that? Basically I like to play two characters at once in SWToR so the game must be in Windowed mode and then Crossfire doesn't work. If I launch a single game in Fullscreen then Crossfire works. I discovered that I can play the game on high settings on only one of these cards which is pretty amazing (3600x1920 res) so Crossfire isn't strictly necessary but more is always better! |

Hi Pox67, I'm afraid that a limitation inherent to Crossfire, it only works in full screen. Sorry! |

Same goes for Nvidia SLI, both technologies work only in full screen mode. |

Seems AMD is still a step behind in the dual card stakes, these Sapphire 7970s are damn fast cards though. |

Been a long time since I had nvidia, glad to see they had this improvement, I never knew it. |
