Is there a problem with the second GPU on this card? Im worried that it says disabled. Could this just be bc its in 2d mode, like a low power mode or bc of it being 32 bit xp?
Just want to know if I should be rma'ing this card.
No,he is talking about its card and u answered about RAM
To OP,download GPU-Z and run 2 copy of it and click on sensors tab on top and go to a game and play a game for about 5-10 mins with GPU-Z opened in background,then when u are in game press ALT+TAB to come to window and see if the clocks are the same or not.
HD 4870X2 has a power saving option which downcloks the GPU in 2d mode.

I did that, I think i was playing mercenaries2, the one core was loaded and the other was not. In the end I reformated with vista x64 sp1. Now when i go into ati overdrive it says both cores are linked prob solved
Thanks for the reply
This is fine the 1024MB is for one GPU, see? Theres the primary and second GPU, 1024MB for each, whats strange is showing Disable adapter, mine shows linked adapter
