Bad FPS... Crossfire issue?

[kamiman]

My system:

Intel Core i7 - 940 (OC to 3.4GHz)

6GB DDR3-1333 (OC to ~1500 I believe)

2x ATI Radeon 4870 512MB CF (Driver 10.5)

80GB Intel SSD (X25-M) - WWIIOL installed here

320GB 15000rpm HDD

1TB 7200rpm HDD

I still get some pretty low FPS in fights... just wondering what might be bottleneck... running max graphics at 1900 x 1200 and get down in the low 20's, also have a major stutter (game locks up, then unlocks, then locks up) issue.

Before I try any more debug of my system could this possibly be a issue with Crossfire? (I know Empire: Total War and Napoleon: Total War had a major issue with ATI cards and needed a specific profile, does BE: Europe do as well?)

This probably belongs in tech support.

TBH we don't have any Xfire set ups here. I do know that the game has a client bottleneck that can bring fps down but that has nothing to do with GPUs.

I'd suggest trying it in single card mode. Nothing in WWIIOL will benefit much from Xfire.

Back when I had a 3870x2 I thought I was having lower performance when I should. Since it wasn't possible to turn xfire off on them I borrowed and tested a single 3870 to compare with and got better performance out of it.

Don't know if it was unique for my system or if the problem would still have existed, don't have that rig anymore, but try to turn crossfire off, it probably won't get worse since the game doesn't support crossfire.
