I believe Tom's Hardware and Tech Report both have reported the same problems with Crossfire and GRID, so you are not an isolated incident, it looks to be widespread. I'm only running a single 4870 on one rig and it has no problems with GRID, but I don't have another one laying around to confirm.

ya whenever you turn xfire on or off in catalyst you need to reboot a few times befor grid is happy again... pain in the arse.
ok i found the problem but no solution hte problem is that in grid (god knows why) i drop down to 2d clocks and i have my 2d set at 300mhz so you can imagine it doesnt preform so well. anyone know of any way to force 3d clocks? or to have the card see a certain .exe and go to 3d automaticly?
