Will do, once I get my adapter.

I gave it a test using two monitors on the MWLL Mod for Crysis. Posted some screen shots here: http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/forumtml#msg85985

What performance increase did you get,going from 1 x 5770 to 2 x 5770 ?

I have no idea as I went straight to 2 x 5770s.

My old rig had a 7800 GTX that cost me about $800AUD three years ago. The two 5770s cost me $400AUD and tripled the performance.

Could you give me an idea of what FPS you are getting and with what resolution & settings ?

Is Crysis completely maxed out ?

Here are the results of three benchmarks using Medium, High and Very High. I normally run on the high setting.

Just an update. I OC my CPU from 2.67GHz to 2.80GHz and got a 10FPS increase. I see an average between 55-60 while playing the MWLL mod in Crysis too.

Nah, just single screen. My DP>VGA adapter still hasn't arrived.

Crysis + Crysis Warhead today on Steam for $13. :doh

I get the same results in Crysis as I do in NFS: Shift if I enable Crossfire. Framerate drops to sub 10. Disable CF and I get about 25-30 FPS with no-AA and everything on High.

Looking forward to the next driver update.
