Hello, I have a HIS 7850 ICE QX graphics card and a PowerColor AX7850 graphics card. I have them plugged into my computer with a Crossfire bridge connected to them and I have the Crossfire button checked on the Amd Catalyst Control Center, but I do not know if the crossfire is working or if the cards are even compatible.

The HIS Specs are as follows:

GPU:7850
Core Clock: 860 MHz
Memory Clock: 4800 MHz
Memory Size: 2048 MB
Memory Type: GDDR5
Memory Interface: 256 bit
Interface: PCI Express 3.0 x16

The PowerColor specs are:

Interface: PCI Express 2.1
Core Clock: 860MHz
Stream Processors: 1024
Effective Memory Clock: 1200MHz Memory Size: 2GBMemory Interface: 256-Bit
Memory Type: GDDR5

 
Solution
The botton doesn't appear unless compatible hardware is detected and won't allow you to check it and stay checked if it's not working.

sounds good to me
use gpu-z record a high intensity game
if you get tearing or other similar effect yup its set up right but
you can then check your recorded stats from the gpu-z after game play:)

Does it matter which card is in the express 1 slot on the motherboard? Should the HIS Card go into the express one slot and the PowerColor go into the express 2 slot or vice versa or does it even matter? Thank you.
