Last night I upgraded to Crossfire 4850's. The game I am currently spending my time with is a new copy of Titan Quest. NOT the biggest game in the world I am aware, but it's what I am playing throught story mode wise right now.
After finishing up with that I decided to throw in some UT3 to see the increases in some newer games. Things were looking fine and I was noticing a solid FPS increase with everything maxed out. Then about 4 - 5 minutes into the game.... boom it dies. And by die I mean hard lock, and reboot.
Temps were fine, fan speed was at 57% and they were crusing at 57C. Had a maxed, 62fps (didnt remove the FPS cap). I decided to plug the cards into the modular options of my PSU to see if having them on seperate rails helped, it didn't. So I fired up the games and tired again, and it died. Again, and again... and again. 4 times total before I decided to disable crossfire. Played the same map, and everything.... worked fine just like it did before hand.
I am using 8.8 cats, and have the game patched to 1.2. I know I have more testing to do in the games before I can really tell if the card is bad, or if Crossfire is just hating UT3. I googled around and found some issues like this, but no fixes.
Anyone else running 4850's and having any issue with this game? Or issues at all that I should be aware of?
