I am really hoping that HaYDeN can get that new fix out - because I just love his existing fix. Mad thanks to him and Helifax and all who have worked on this.

In the meantime I noticed a lot of people complaining that CrossfireX is not working or is giving poor performance. I fooled around with it a lot and found a configuration that works for me. I was frustrated that it seemed very sluggish and stuttery.

I run 5760x1200 (3 x 28") on dual 2GB 6950's, core i7 (920), 12GB ram, dual SSDs in RAID-0. Should be fast. It wasn't.

There is a version of the drivers posted there, install that. Make sure you have CAP3 installed, NOT CAP4.

Install RadeonPro and do as the guy says - set it to TES IV profile and make sure Surface Optimization is turned off, CatalystAI on full and CF mode to AFR.

Using the RadeonPro tools I can see that both VPU's are being used, and I get much better framerate than before. Plus it is just obviously smoother. Before, with no tweaks, I was getting 20-25 fps with "High" settings. Now I am running on Ultra and getting 40-50 fps which is plenty fine. I set the shadows to Medium because many people are saying that this setting is bugged and works opposite to how its labeled. I find the shadows look much better.

I also found that after I applied the >2GB fix (there are a few different ones) I have not had one single CTD. I was getting those every 20 minutes or so before

Really, if HaYDen can get books and maps fixed, I will be in heaven.

helifax, I just want to say your latest three option (center, stretch, read) fix is amazing. I switched from Hayden's to this. I just opened the CT file in notepad and edited the config for 5760x1080 and it's working flawless. Thank you and Bethesda owes you some of the $60 I spent on the game!

Thanks for the tip! I have done some more crossfire testing with 2x6850 and had no luck with CF/eyefinity. CF works for me, but with about 0% scaling, and Radeon Pro shows 40-60% utilization.

I will follow the instructions on that post and report back.

Looking forward to trying Halifax's new fix. The ability to toggle to x1 or x3 should bring the best of everythng.

Everyone having similar problems with CF. I get that with 2x6850. To get it working with eyefinity, I had to remove one card physically, disabling was not enough. Count yourself lucky; a single 6990 should run eyefinity on ultra with very good framerate. You dont really need two of those for this game.

OK I just took out one of my 6990s and reset the 11.11 driver and its still doing it !
Please help its getting Horrible 1 Fps in tripple Screen Eyefinity but runs perfectly in single monitor

Can someone please give me Simple step by step instructions on how to get Skyrim to work in Eyefinity correctly Please !
i am so computer illiterate..

Helifax, this new fix is great. Thank you. Is there any chance to get this to work with bezel corrected resolutions? I tweaked my res settings to get it the best I can, but inevitably some menu / HUD elements get hidden behind the bezels. It would be great if an offset could be added such that the HUD and menus are rendered only on the viewable area inside the bezels.

ALRIGHT!

i got helifax's fix working.

I couldn't modify it throguh cheatengine, but i figured it out via a text editor.

SO!
My config is for 5760x1200, and the 3 keys are -, + and backspace on the standard keyboard, since I don't have a numpad

if you need to modify it for your resolution, just open it with any text editor and replace all instances of "5760" with your horizontal and all instances of "1200" with your vertical!

here's my version:

http://pastebin.com/iJFUptNF

save it as anything.CT (not anything.CT.txt !)

jsut have the latest cheat engine installed and run it!

thanks again helifax, but fuck cheat engine! (Ollydbg is much more reliable for me, but harder to use)

Helifax

fix is AWESOME

Seeing my map is AWESOME

You are AWESOME

ty ty ty :D
