Crossfire GPU Issue

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
hey all

i recently bought myself some new parts and extra bits to make my gaming rig that much better.

And included in my purchase was a 2nd hand club 3D 5770 to crossfire with my XFX 5770,

now here's the issue

when doing benchmarks or trying to do any testing I've found that i have 3 GPU's, (GPU 0,1,2) and when load was applied to the system GPU 0 and 1 would go to 100% load and GPU 2 would sit between 0 and 10% load

i assumed that GPU 0 was from my sandy bridge chip (2500K) and disabled it, and when I re ran any benchmarks GPU1 would go to 100% and GPU 2 would sit and do nothing.

what have i done wrong? the other card just won't do anything. is there a fix anyone knows of?

P.S also updated CCC to latest version.

You absolutely sure you didn't turn one of the radeons off? Try all three combinations of gpus active and see what happens. Also try looking in Device Manager under displays, make sure you have two "5700 series" adapters in there tongue.gif

Also the obvious four, Crossfire option in Catalyst, physical crossfire bridge, power cables to gpus (if applicable) and make sure the benchmark supports crossfire and is running fullscreen.

Hmm, how did you disable the cpu's gpu, through the BIOS or device manager? If it was through the BIOS, I don't know what else to try, other than swapping the cards around in their slots :S
