hi together,
eve only uses crossfire if one client at least is in full screen mode.
no matter which gpu is choosed in the eve clients.
i use to play with 2 clients in window mode, on 2 displays, hooked to the primary ati 3870 of the crossfire rig.
this runs fine on one 3870, but the second gpu is ideling.
is there any chance to get eve to use crossfire with 2 screens and 2 clients in window mode?
a pointing to the right direction is very much appreciated!
pc specs:
asus z7s-ws
2 x intel xeon E5420
4 x 2 gb kingston ram
2 x ati sapphire 3870 toxic
running on win7 with catalyst 10.7
thanks in advance!

ATI failed to allow crossfire to support windowed mode in games... Welcome to the short bus imo or buy nvidia next time

The second poster is correct, except for instances where a game is specifically coded to take advantage of the crossfire.
However, you should be able to run two clients max res on two screens with one of your cards anyway... you'll not get much performance that will be obvious other than being able to go to wide tent antialiasing, or even edge detect with crossfire unless there is something wrong with your rig. I can run 2 clients with a combined total res of 1050x3360 on my old pc with one 3870 and worse pc specs than yours, so I know its possible. Dual Xeon weeeee!

What you should do is connect each display to each card. Now you have one client per GPU.
Results in sick FPS on each client without FPS drops when switching the mouse between the two.
That`s way better then crossfire enabled and the reason i bought two cards. Just make sure that you set the client to the right GPU.
This way you can play with two clients on two screens awhile never going below 100 FPS. That`s something the most powerful single GU cards can`t achive because you get framdrops on client one when you switch the mouse to client two.
This will not harm crossfire btw. Crossfire works just fine with the displays connected like this.
