The driver can run Crossfire, but it’s available for Direct3D only. Future driver versions will support OpenGL and Vista 64-bit edition according to ATI. This driver should be enough to hold Vista users over till next months Catalyst 7.2 release, which will more than likely address some of these issues.

It also introduces Crossfire support for the entire ATI Radeon X1000 product series under Microsoft Vista. Users will see significant performance gains in a number of applications when running in Crossfire mode under Windows Vista.
