I find it interesting that Bad Company 2 showed such a slim improvement with the Crossfire. Given your X6, I hesitate to suggest CPU bottlenecking, but then again, BC2 runs on the unoptimized side and kills your CPU with sound processing. If you have War Tapes on for audio, I wouldn't be surprised to see that framerate cap; I'm running an X4 955 and get CPU-capped severely. =/ S.T.A.L.K.E.R. showed a nice improvement, though. Any suggestions on possible Crossfires with a 5770? Hmm… I find it interesting that Bad Company 2 showed such a slim improvement with the Crossfire.
