X1950 XTX CROSSFIRE PROBLEMS - PLEASE HELP!

Hi,

I recently bought another x1950 xtx to crossfire with my original master card.
(I originally bought 2 masters but have sinceusing a slave master config and have had the exact same problem)

The installation was straightforward and enabling crossfire was easy......

BUT THEN I tried to play a game, lots of games.

The screen flickers from the picture to a black screen intermittently.
This happens from the moment of booting up a game and happens with all of them.

The monitor I am using is DVI.

I have seen a few people with similar problems on various forums but have seen no fix.
Can anyone who has had a similar problem or knows of it please help!

Thanks in advance

Well,

This happened to mine as well.. I ended up just sending back the crossfire card. I have heard that you can connect the two with the dongle (which I hate btw... why cant it be NEAT and internal like SLI is now? The screws on the card strip right out if you tighten them to much).. and then instead of using the DVI cable you use a standard monitor connector.. You will cure the flicker. Which was unacceptable for me.

So I am basically sitting on a 1950XTX as my card till something after the HD2900XT comes out. I want to give the cards a little time to mature. Make sure the dongle is gone.. and then I am gonna grab a pair of DX10 cards and be a happy camper.

yeah, i had the same problem, i just used vga (wasn't a problem for me at the time) but over time i had re-installed windows ect ect and my monitor shat itself, so i got a new one, dreading the dvi problem but it was gone, i was still thinking wtf...
