A few things to check:

Enable Crossfire in CCC

Does the game support Xfire

AMD FX-8150 performs very poorly in games, so if you are playing CPU bound games like world of warcraft, you won't see ANY difference.

Summer build: I7-4770K @ 4.5GHz, 4x4GB (Alternative black/red) DDR3 1600MHz, HD 7970GHz Water blocked, XSPC res/pump combo, 2 dual 120MM radiators, Corsair 350D Case, Corsair AX860I 80+ Gold PSU, custom red individually sleeved cables, red tubing w/ silver/chrome compression fittings, 480GB Crucial M500 SSD, ASrock Z87 MATX professional board, and a Corsair Vengeance K60 keyboard.

Ya i know about my cpu that even tho it is @ 4.5ghz it is still slowing down fps a bunch (when i got this none of my friends played on pc and i was using it for video editing and graphic design) do u know if it would be worth it to upgrade to a FX8350 or any amd AM3 socket cpu b/c i dont rly want to go to intel cuz i cant afford it (2nd 7970 was a gift) Thx

Does that 8150 not bottleneck Crossfire 7970? The 8350 is a much better CPU and it's only £150 atm.
