Your crossfire disabled because it doesn't help?

What games do you play? At that resolution and those GPU's you really shouldn't struggle in 95% of games.


Speccy never shows Crossfire enabled.

It does with my 5850's in CF, a glitch with newer GPU?

When you say dual monitor, do you mean gaming on 2 monitors simultaneously (meaning half the game on one screen and the other half on the other), or simply having 2 monitors plugged in at the same time?

Simply wish to have two monitors plugged in simultaneously. CS or whatever on one screen, Browser or twitch programs on the other. Something like that.

those gpus should be able to handle that either way, not newly half assed coded games at ultra though with 2 1080p monitors

So what is preventing you from doing that? If you plug in a 2nd monitor it should just work without any work.
What kind of plug do you currently have plugged into your gpu, and what other empty sockets are there?

Yeah I could do it with 2x HDMI cables, but I'm looking to upgrade a bit before doing so. Right now I'm only at ~250 FPS in CSGO, and with streaming and such it will drop a bit, which seems crazy considering my specs. I'm just wondering what the best upgrade would be for myself given my current computer specs.

e; I was thinking of upgrading my memory to 24GB (3x 8GB)
