[Windows 7] Hybrid SLI and CrossFire unstable, says Microsoft

[halo112358]

I've never had a problem running Eve Online in windowed mode with SLI or Crossfire. Never even had to set any special settings. Not once, ever. I've had 3870 X2, 9800 GX2, 4870 CF, and 4870 X2. Not a single one of them presented any problems. No special settings in either. I always run dual clients, one at 1650x1050 and another at 1920x1080.

You won't have problems getting the game to run in a window, but it won't use crossfire while windowed (nothing will). My issue was that I wanted to run my 4870x2 at 500/300 while I was on the desktop to keep power consumption low and ambient temps down, which worked fine, but it also meant that I'd be running at 500/300 while I ran windowed mode games....

In the end I had to script around it.
