    But I thought Crossfire was already working on Skyrim with people getting 55fps plus on the 6990M?

    Sometimes games just out of the box start working without AMD explicitly mentioning it in a release. So if you already have both cards showing full 3D clocks and activity while playing skyrim, then having an official release with AMD mentioning Skyrim profiles is not going increase the performance by that much as performance is coming from the drivers in the end.

    With CFX enabled my performance decreases in Skyrim and there be the issue. In some of the areas of the game it decreases by almost 10 FPS and other parts only a frame or two, but still decreases.

    theres a few ways to get crossfire working with an unoptimized profile. itll get cfx working but not to its true potential. placing a DLL in the file folder or renaming the exe i believe?
