Well this is my first dual GPU card so I don't know alot about the stuttering. I have only just reinstalled everything last night and have to admit I haven't flown in the pit yet. I've just ran "Blackdeath" a number of times trying out different settings. Couple of things come to mind about this:

- Not everything is ready driver wise for the 4870X2. You have to use CAT 8.8 beta at this stage as 8.7 won't recognise the card.

- If this an issue with both SLI and Crossfire setups then I would put that down to IL-2, not the cards. You have to remember SLI and Crossfire was only a wet dream when the Pacific Fighters engine came out.

- SoW will (I hope) be optimised to take advantage of Dual GPU/CPU set ups. Which is what I'm really aiming for.

Before IL-2 I've been testing the card on STALKER, Crysis, Jerico and ETQW and I have found no problems at all.

The only problem I've come accross is ARMA but thats because it doesn't like VISTA 64 with 4GBRam

My system (nothing overclocked):
E8400
4GB DDR3 Corsiar 1333
GA-X48T-DQ6
PowerColor 4870X2 2GB
150GB WD Raptor
XF-i
