Well I've had the 3870x2 for a few months and I am very happy with the performance, however I've been checking the CCC while playing games the past few days. And I'm seeing that the first GPU is getting up to 100% load, while the second one never goes past 0%.

Is this a problem with my card? Or with the CCC not being able to read the 3870x2?

Any advice on what to do would be greatly appreaciated. :)

This might sound dumb, but is xfire enabled? (the most obvious answers are usually the right ones.)

Hmm...I thought that Crossfire was always enabled with the 3870x2..

Did you disabled Catalist AI ? For CF to work it should be enabled (stardard) you can use Advanced too, but dont expect better performance.
Some games may not work because there is no CF profile in drivers, sometimes you can force by changine the games executable to one that CF works.
What games are not working ?
