Hello there!
Can any Dev tell me if there will be crossfire support soon? Or do we need to wait for a CAP from AMD?
@Devs: ATI Crossfire

Hey! Hopefully it will be in 11.6 or later CAP.

Great! So at the very minimum we have to wait 2 weeks… but more likely a month for the 11.6 driver release :
The current framerates are dismal on just one GPU… almost unplayable.
By the time all the bugs and graphic issues are fixed, Brink’s going to be bargain bin material with discount prices.
Pre-ordering; feels good man.

11.6 likely wont be out until June, though they may release a preview build if we are lucky.

[QUOTE=teroteki;307369]The current framerates are dismal on just one GPU… almost unplayable.[/QUOTE]I am getting 40-60 fps with one of my 4800s.
Definitely playable.

Cool. I’m glad it’s playable for you.
I’ve got it at medium/shadows off (all the extras unchecked) and my 5970 (o/c’d) is pulling 50-70 fps in corridors, and dropping to 30-40 in open areas/gunfire fights. The game constantly feels choppy regardless of how many graphical options I disable :rolleyes:
GPU1 is chugging away at 100% while GPU2 sits idle. Seems a waste.
Call me greedy or a nub, but I need a stable minimum of 60fps. Fluxing FPS destroys my accuracy and ruins my gameplay experience.
I guess we just have different expectations of what ‘performance’ is and what we class as ‘playable’.
EDIT:
12 hours after posting, AMD has released a new driver:
amd_catalyst_11.5a_hotfix_8.85.6rc3_win7_may16.exe
Current available link is: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=344484
With one GPU, max settings on (except AO of course .’) I’m now getting 80-120fps, with 8v8 firefights going as low as 60fps 
Average fps is 90.
This is now very playable to me, and I’m actually enjoying the game.
Crossfire would still be nice sometime in the future though… the icing on the cake.
