Hello there, I''ve been playing the game for a couple of years now and I've always used crossfire setups for it.

Now that I use 3 simultanious accounts, running in three 1920x1080 screens (1 client / screen), I'm forced to play in windowed mode but, as you may know, crossfire does not work in windowed mode... it only does in Fullscreen... cutting the power in half...

It works fine most of the time, but since I'm looking to upgrade my graphic cards I would like to ask to NVIDIA users if the double gpu cards or SLI setups, work 100% in windowed mode or only one core/card works if you run em in non fullscreen mode, like AMD...

Another question would be if you know if AMD is going to fix this issue and let us use crossfire / dual core gpus on eve (dx9) while windowed someday?

Thanks, in advance.

I have a pair of brand new GTX570s in my rig, not in SLI mode, and all three modes works perfectly. I run with a quad monitor setup.

However, I'm Intel based, so the question still remains for AMD problem.
