Poor Crossfire support?

Hi,

I seem to have some problems with CFX in fullscreen mode. I'm not sure if the problem is with my pc or EVE just doesn't have good CFX support.
Yesterday I had a good opportunity to test my CFX setup out in a big fleet fight. The interesting thing is that when there's a lot of ships, brackets and other stuff on the field the fps drops to something like 5-20 fps while the gpu's usage is only 20-30%. Logically if there's a lot of stuff to render the gpu usage should be 99%. And when I warped off the field both gpu usage was 99% with like 400fps or so.

Is there anything to do to improve CFX performance or the client just isn't optimized to used it?

Thanks

PC Specs:

-Intel Core i5-2500K, 4.5Ghz
-Asus Sabertooth P67
-G.Skill F3-12800CL9-4GBXL 8GB (1600Mhz) 9-9-9-24 1T
-2x Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 6950 2GB (840/1325)
-Dell UltraSharp U2412M (1920x1200)
-OCZ Vertex 2 120GB SSD
-Corsair TX750 V2 750W PSU

EVE doesent support crossfire does it? besides even if you put on maximum graphics at 2560x1600 with full AA and AF even an old 6950 2GB runs eve stable at 60FPS. Unless in heavy fleetfights.

My old 6970 2GB was enough to push 60FPS on 800+ man grids in null.

Well, in full screen mode both cards are used.
