Does anyone know if its possible to make Furmark stress a crossfire setup. At the moment with my two 3850's, running the benchmark puts the first card on full load and seems to ignore the second card, leaving it at 0% load. Does Furmark not have Crossfire support?

Obvious questions: but is CrossFire enabled in the driver? Does it have the CrossFire connector between the cards and what drivers are you using?

Yes crossfire is enabled. I can see it through GPUZ. I've got both connectors connected and I'm using Catalyst 8.9

Do they both stress during 3DMark or a game?

Yep I think so. They both stress under 3DMark Vantage so crossfire is working.

If you want crossfire to work in Furmark, you need to rename the FurMark.exe to something with a crossfire profile in the drivers. Try renaming FurMark.exe to ETQW.exe

Before doing this I was getting a score of 4400. After the rename I got around 8500. (this was with 2 HD4850s at stock)
