If you have them configured to run in Crossfire, then they'll both be used. Nothing to it really.

You can check msi afterburner usage or just see if your fps have improved from 1 5850.Also there should be a cf logo at the start of each game.

If ou don't have an oced cpu it is probably the issue.Or maybe you play games that do not support cf.
