First of all, first post ever here. Figured this would be a great place to bring this question, as there are likely people that have solved this issue.
I am a fairly experienced computer builder, going back about 10 years. I build a few systems a year for my office, home and friends. I know OS, hardware, etc.
I recently decided to make the dive into Eyefinity with my home rig - i5-750, 8 GB RAM, 2 X 5850 in Crossfire. I had a single 28" LCD, added 2 more 28" LCD's. I am a big time Battlefield fan back to 1942/Desert Combat. I have played BC2 since release, and it had played so smooth on a single 28" LCD, res and everything maxed with a single 5850. I added the 2nd 5850 and it became just unplayable with how choppy it became. I have lowered res to 5760X1080 and settings to medium with only 2X AA and Aniso and it is better, but still not smooth. It seems this system should be able to run that config easily, so thought I would see if anyone sees something I missed, or if I just need to lower expectations.
I drop down 1920X1200 in 1 LCD and again, perfection. I am running Catalyst 10.11 currently.
Thanks in advance for any help given.
