BF2142 Beta Problems with x1900 Crossfire

[Sentry2]

Is there anybody here having performance issues with the BF2142 beta and their Crossfire setup?

I set Cat AI to advanced and start the game. I get around 100FPS avg @ 1600x1200 6xAA. After about 10minutes of playing something happens and the framerate just drops.(30FPS )

The game does this with or without overclocking. I know it's still a beta which is probably the problem. Just curious if anyone else has this problem? Disabling Cat AI gives 30FPS right from the start. BF2 has no issues like this after extended periods of playing.

well i know this is off topic but is it good? does it closely resemble BF2?

Turn it down to 4xAA???
Rename exe? Force AFR?
It's a beta and I doubt ATI has a profile for it yet.

The difference between 6x AA and 4x AA isn't much...especially with 2 cards.
It works fine for a few minutes and then goes to crap. I usually just disable crossfire when I play it now. I can play BF2 and have no issues at all with Crossfire enabled. Same thing with Oblivion, Call of Duty 2, and Fear. I'm sure they've all been optimized for a certain rendering mode and the BF2142 beta hasn't been. Like I said running Crossfire with CAT AI set to Advanced runs awesome for about 5 or 10 minutes then the FPS drop down to a steady 30...from 100...

When you set Cat AI to advanced does it force AFR?
