To get DiRT2 to run on my system I had to force DX9 in the settings. It was way to slow with the my eyefinity resolution to the point of freezing.

Go to C:Users(USERNAME)DocumentsMy GamesDiRT2hardwaresettings and edit the "hardware_settings_config.xml" file in notepad.

Look for the setting "" and change it to true. I adjusted some of the other settings down to help with the framerate, but the game looks great in eyefinity! If you are able to run it with DX11 and I'm doing something wrong please let me know.

Here's a video I took of the game running on my system.

sorry, your case is NOT DX11 compatable.

On a slightly more serious note, what drivers are you using for the graphics cards? :)

LOL! I'm using the 9.12 Hotfix.

Not sure, it runs fine in DX9, but for some reason the thing just won't run in DX11.

I'm getting the same issue with Dirt2 and in my case it's definitely Crossfire that's killing it. 36fps avg with one 5850, 11fps avg in Crossfire :cry:.

Still haven't had the chance to try it, but that's odd. When you disabled the crossfire were you able to run it with DX11? This a problem with crossfire or with dirt2 or DX11?
