Removed and uninstalled my soundcard, no change at all...
One thing I've noticed is that my crossfire bridges are EXTREMELY (and I must stress extremely) touchy. The mere weight of my finger coming into contact with either one (not actually pushing, just basically resting against it) is enough to cause massive flickering and / or strange colour patterns everywhere. This is the same both with my brand new (expensive) bridges I ordered, or the ones that shipped with the cards. Out of sheer annoyance, I popped one the bottom-inner side of one of the bridges off ingame... Framerates stayed nice and high and all the corruption vanished, but even with 200+ fps in TF2, it FELT like 30 or 40 fps. This still makes me think that for some reason, something is going wrong with the blending of the frames. What would be responsible for that? Two brand new cards with identical problems (magically), drivers, or the motherboard? I tried doing crossfire on this board without any bridges installed, and I got the message that "No dongles / bridges are connected, cards are not supported, or your motherboard does not have any communication lanes between PCI-e slots". Since my cards are supported (and I've seen some people do software crossfire on these cards before), could that point to something fishy going on with the motherboard?
I just don't know what to think. What else could there be?
