Hey, I run 2 AMD 7970 cards in crossfire and i have noticed that Arma3 supports crossfire little to none. Also running on one single card does not use the card above 80%, It always using around 40-50%.
Im not sure if its the fact AMD have not released profiles for ARMA3/updated their drivers to accommodate the game or just poor optimization on your behalf. I am not the only one with this issue, I have many friends who also play with really bad performance issues.
I should be able to play on Ultra settings with FXAA but the FPS drops are just too massive.
