Let's see.... Skyrim had issues with Crossfire, Fallout 3 and Vegas, I heard that Serious Sam had some problems, never played it myself, COD Black Ops 2, BC2, I heard about BF3, didn't play... Yeah, they come out with their CAP for them sometime down the road, but there are still issues that you shouldn't expect to deal with. I'm ignoring the statements of "Growing pains" and the like.List those "too many"? You can't, because reality is that crossfire runs great on most games and scales very well. Which "(double) RAM" is not used?? You don't know what you're talking about. Educate yourself about AFR.

"The data is mirrored by both cards so two 1GB cards will still result in 1GB of VRAM being available."
So, in games like Skyrim, where VRAM is at a premium, loading large resolution packs can result in reaching your VRAM limit very quickly. A dual 2Gb card setup doesn't provide you with 4Gb of VRAM for use, you're limited to the 2Gb, since the data is mirrored on both cards.
Nice tone by the way.
