Hi, MS aren't responsible for producing crossfire drivers, ATI are. As of yet their beta drivers don't support it. Also you need to remember that Vista is in beta form.... ChrisC "DALE MCCONNELL" wrote in message

So try the XP drivers then? May need to use xp sp2 compatibility mode and standard vga first.
What was the point of posting specs when you forgot the make and model of your display adapters...

I just spoke with Terry Makedon about this, and serious games should not take Vista Beta as a serious gaming operating system yet. Catalyst drivers for Vista b2 lack of features like crossfire and openGl support, which forbid using 2 cards in Xfire configuration and playing DooM3-like games. Please understand that ATI's main goal for this release is having working drivers. They "just work" and you can expect a 40-80% of XP performances (framerate) running games in Vista. Optimization will be a second time effort, and drivers will improve significantly when Vista will be realeased, not before.
Alternatively, you can go www.ati.com and apply for a driver development job, maybe you can help'em gaining results you like.
