Dunno if i've done enough to quantify it, but i can run it on the same AA/AF settings as Arma2 at the same frame rate (never below 50fps). Off the top of my head (i'm at work) i think i'm running 8/16, or 4/8 @ 1920x1080. Before the usage of the second core, i had to wind the settings back somewhat.

Yeah, the 10.8 drivers and 10.8 crossfire profiles utilise both cores on my 5970 now

New drivers and profiles work a treat for me! Noice!

Got all that, it never worked with the Steam version. Regardless, it seems the new ATI Catalyst 10.8 drivers have addressed the issue; check the site and the release notes say that OA is now working with crossfire. Woohoo! Will try tonight!

Yeah... renaming and doing the alias thing did nothing for me. Obviously it's not a game coding bug (i'm assuming), so it is solely an ATI issue. Hopefully they bloody well fix it!

I'm guessing you're not much of a PR person either. Unclekeith - no idea with doing that for steam, although it seems unlikely to change anything. The usual renaming business doesn't do anything either. Is it as simple as a crossfire profile is needed, or is it an OA bug?

I dunno, would i? I'm not a coder, or a computer expert or any of those other things... which is why i signed up here and asked a question specific to the game. I'm having trouble with my steering in my commodore as well; i was thinking of taking it to Holden, but i might actually take it to the tyre company now you mention it.

Hey you crazy folk! It seems that Arma 2: OA isn't using both of the cores on my 5970; i also notice that others are having issues with crossfire and are doing things like changing .exe names etc. I'm wondering if this has been noted for the next patch? I'm a Steam user, so i doubt i can go around renaming and editing files to get stuff to work (if it even does, which looks a bit touch and go). I'd love to get the most out of OA with a dual core GPU and quad core CPU. Any help/feedback/advice and/or hugs appreciated. ... except the hugs... that'd be weird... right? :D
