crossfire flashing

[Shag 90]

Just bought a second card to run in crossfire. When I turn it on, every 1-2mins the sky flashes/strobes. when i turn crossfire off it stops.

I guess it is an arma 2 issue, but I'm not a member on those boards. Anyone know how this can be fixed.

I updated my driver to the latest beta, made no difference.

Have no problems running ATI xfire HD6700s etc, might wanna list a few more specs in regards to what you're running and what it is doing.

I have dual 6850s make sure you have the latest stable drivers 12.4? and the latest "Catalayst Application Profiles" the latter is specific to xfire.

Catalyst application profiles. I didn't download that. How does it work?

yeah there does seem to be some issue with the beta and crossfire. I have the same problem as well. Although when i am running fraps, the problem goes away.

Had the same problem with my crossfired 4850s (up-to-date drivers etc.). Did some digging on the internet and ArmA II seems to be the problem. Found a fix that has worked perfectly for me.

Go to Documents>My Games>ArmA 2, open ArmA2OA.cfg in notepad and change HDRPrecision=whatever the number here is to either HDRPrecision=32 (which mine was defaulted at) or HDRPresicion=16 (which solved the problem for me). The post also suggested setting graphics memory to default but I didn't need to.
