My advice to anyone would be that you are far better off with one strong card, as opposed two lesser cards. Simpley put dual card setups have many issues and that isn't going to change anytime soon.
Interestingly enough I have had ZERO problems with other games and Crossfire (Borderlands 1 & 2, Far Cry 3, GTA 4 & dlc, etc). I'm running 14.4 drivers on Win7 SP1 64bit.
Intel Core 2 Quad (Q9550) CPU
Radeon HD6850 * 2
8 gig ram (DDR800)
Additional note: There's a setting in Catalyst that will put a Crossfire logo on screen. In my mind this is the ONLY way to determine if a game is using Crossfire.
TF2 doesn't support Crossfire, no logo even though Crossfire is enabled.
Far Cry 3 (example) supports Crossfire and logo shows.
Steps to enable/disable logo
right-click the AMD Control Center icon in the Windows system tray
In this menu, select the primary graphics card from the AMD CrossFire configuration
Select AMD CrossFire settings
Check/Uncheck the option for "Show AMD CrossFire Status Icon"
Thanks for your advice, But I've tested this using MSI afterburner, Which shows a history graph of the CPU usage and GPU on both devices. Even with Crossfire enabled in control centre, The 2nd card will not be used by Watchdogs, So the game and/or drivers have not even been written to use them.
Poor, Very very Poor.
Specs:
AMD Radeon HD 6990 4gb
Intel Core 7i-2600 @3.4GHz (Overclocked to 4.5GHz)
12Gb RAM
Windows 7 64Bit
Went to windowed no border and played for two hours before I froze again on a loading screen after completing a mission.

So all credit should go to him/her
Didn't you learn your lesson from assassin creed 4 bf ? It was the same deal crossfire preforms even worse than one of your card .
I tried this thanks, But the results were a bit strange, The game loaded past the normal place where it freezes, BUT, The 2nd Video card is disabled,?. I could just do that myself.
