Hanners has posted a news article.

Unless you've been living under a rock you'll doubtless have heard at least a little bit about Battlefield 3, and indeed you may well be aware of a multi-player beta released this week. So, how does this behemoth of an FPS perform and look?

Read the full story here.

The response pretty much says it all. The first guy should go back to Gaylo.

Everyone's playing Queers of Bore 3 this week. It's the new brown.

How does Brown work for you?

Seems like I get a lot of graphics corruption if I have crossfire turned on... especially in that outdoors spawn area.

You're not supposed to use ecksfire with new games until a driver comes out to support that specific game, I thought?

Using the Catalyst 11.10 preview driver?

silly me, I thought 11.9 was newest, didnt find 11.10 preview on amd site :oops:

It was on the frontpage even, the link :oops:

Happens with the newest driver too. I´m a bit puzzled because it isn´t affected by clocks of the gpus, I donwnclock them all the way to 600MHz/900MHz and still get the corruption. But if I set a lower resolution like 1440x900, then the corruption goes away.

Tried plugging my monitor to the other card and running it without crossfire. No corruption. Crossfire back on, corruption back on.
Definitely not temperature related as it happens even when I manually set the fans to 100% and they´re running at 51 celsius.

That's par for the course with Xfire. You'll have to wait for AMD to update their Xfire profile. Still decades behind nVidia WRT allowing users to set their own profile settings for multi-GPU usage. When will AMD get their collective head's out the sand when it comes to user based multi-GPU settings?

Sold both my radeons and ordered a gtx580 dc2. Never again will I try a Multi-gpu setup. Never again. It´s not like they didn´t have time to fix these issues, this is what 5th generation of crossfire capable cards?

This is exactly why I hated BC2. And this is why BF3 is not on my list. Twelveteen year old mental midgets.

Unless of coarse we form an EB clan and have proper VOIP. Maybe then.
