Hi all! just before I start, i'm a noob to crossfireX! I've had a 4870 for a lil while now and I couldn't resist getting another one, so I currently have x2 4870's connected to my p5k premium but I think i've missed something out somewhere down the line. I connected the 2 bridge connectors (not sure if there was a particular way these should be connected) and I've hooked my monitor cable to my master card (not sure if anything else is suppose to plug into these cards apart from each 2x 8 pin connectors which I have done).
I Got rid of my old catalyst driver and downloaded and installed the latest catalyst suit for my cards. After a reboot I have the crossfire tab showing up with the 2 options of configure and diagnostics, so I enabled crossfireX, clicked on identify GPU, I then got a large number 1 showing up on the center of my screen and then disappeared and that was that, the exact same happens when I Identify in diagnostics, yet nothing appears in the status setup box. I dare say i'm suppose to get my cards showing up for the available combination.
I'm just hoping anyone can help me out on this, I've been trying to look up what it could be for a while now but I can't seem to pin point the issue if there is one.

Thanks very muchly in advance!

Yes, I did read the above sticky and I will be replacing my motherboard at some point! but it isn't entirely incompatible? so I still don't see why my cards ARN'T showing up :(

Have you run GPUZ to see if they both come up? [ulr]http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/[/url]

Other option in Catalyst Control Center (advanced options) go to Information Center -> Graphics Hardware. Under that it should have primary adapter and linked adapter. Ensure they are both there.


As far as the large 1 showing up, that generally is when you have a dual monitor setup so that it can identify which monitor is which.
