I found thisover at the Bethesda forums. People don’t seem to be replying…prolly cuz they’ve already given up on BRINK
I’m a Nvidia user but my gf has an ATI card so shes going to try this soon!!!
Heres what it says to fix the frame rate issues.
I actually knowing nothing about computers. So yeah. So wait why is there a DirectX folder if the game is only OpenGL 
Does it only control sound?
Yeah this actually works. What you need to do is install a nvidia card from the GTX series and run this with crossfire on your ATI card, this way Directx becomes compatible and forms a driver hybrid which will run Brink through the ATI architecture without any problems.
Thanks for being a decent person and showing me why the DirectX folder is not for graphics instead of making fun of me like the other two guys.
I came here with a possible solution to HELP other people. I own a gtx 570. I don’t have these problems. I went out of my way to help ATI users find a solution to their problems. So I found a crappy thread that may or may not work…Why am I being ridiculed for trying to help and learn?
Does this seem right to you?
BRINK101 tokamak was trolling you with that awnser, you can´t use crossfire with 2 diferent graphic card models or from 2 diferent brands like nvidia with ati.
I really think the admins should begin giving out some bans in this foruns I dont see any reason why calling someone stupid and starting flame wars is allowed, its just shows a green flag to trollers and say hey your welcome in our foruns and troll everyone who likes brink or have questions about it.
And btw I´ve a ati 5770 crossfire and i´m having perfomance issues as a lot of other ati users, i´ve tryed like 8 diferent drivers and stuff and this is what worked the best for me so far -> http://www.splashdamage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28388
neg, be respectful to other forum members.
tokamak, giving out deliberately misleading ‘technical support’ is one way to buy yourself a ticket out of these forums. Don’t do it again.
Je T’aime, we don’t need back-seat forum moderators. Reporting a post is sufficient.
To the original poster:
DirectX is the name for the family of Microsoft application programming interfaces (APIs) used primarily for programming video and audio functions in software designed for Microsoft environments (such as Windows operating systems and the Xbox 360).
In the case of Brink, OpenGL is used for the graphics side and DirectX is used for the audio side. The game automatically installs the latest version of DirectX the first time you run it. In other words you probably won’t see any benefit from installing DirectX again and it wouldn’t help ATI/AMD cards any more than Nvidia cards.
