How is it these days with crossfire support with AAA titles at their release date. Do we ussually have to wait for profiles or is it possible to use crossfire as soon as they release?

a lot of big name titles have beta drivers (or just the profiles) released at, or just after launch.

it's fairly random, some big names took months to fix, others are in the drivers months before release, & sometimes you can force profiles of other games yourself to try & get some scaling

which games do you care about?

Release day support is horrible. Feel free to check my STEAM profile "cadaveca", and see some of the gmaes I have. I can literally count on my fingers the number of games that had proper Crossfire support on launch day.

The number of games that I had to wait MONTHS for a proper profile...I'd need an abacus for.

For future games like BF3 you can be guaranteed working crossfire from Day 1.

Obscure games from the $1 bin at the grocery store... maybe not.
