Crossfire 6970 issues

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
Hey,

I was playing D3 on max settings on a low res (bad monitor) when the screen when black with grey lines. I get a error saying "Display driver has crashed and successfully re-coved" (something like that). I continue playing and the same thing happens but with a different fail screen (standard graphic card failure). So I then open up GPU Z and see that, on my primary 6970 it is at max clock and 100C +. I look at the second and its at 250 Clock and 42C. This is the settings it should be at when idling! So why does my crossfire seem to not work, causing me to overstress the other card?

Please help me frown.gif,

Will

crossfire is only supported in certain games, im not sure if D3 does or not., and have you enabled it in the catalyst control center?

i have no issues with both a pair of 5770s and my current pair of 6850s running CF

I had the same problem with my crossfired 6950's but I was boincing, not game playing. The second card would stay at 250/150 clocks no matter what I did. Finally removed the crossfire bridge and put a dummy plug in the second card, but that won't solve your problem. Hope you figure it out and I will keep my eye on this thread because I was having the same problem.

I have it enabled in the CCC. Good to hear that other people have had this problem though, hopefully someone will arrive with a solution.
