Hi everyone,
Last week I bought myself a second Powercolor Hd4870 pcs+ 1gb and i'm experiencing some problems to make it work in CrossfireX mod.
Components and os : Corsair hx620, e8400@ 3.3 ghz, 3gb ram kingston pc8500, 2x Powercolor hd4870 pcs+ 1gb, maxtor hard drive 250 gb, p5q pro motherboard,19" acer al1916w screen (soon getting a 22"), windows xp sp3.
Problems : I can't get the crossfire to work properly, it's enabled in the Catalyst Control Center but gpu-z indicates that it's disabled. Beside since I have installed it I haven't noticed any performance improvements in any game (Far cry 2, Crysis) or benchmark software (3d mark 2006). Both cards works fine seperately (I tested each of them).
I tried different Ati drivers such as the 8.10, 8.11, 8.12, 9.1, 9.2 without any results or improvements.
I formatted my pc, installed drivers seperately for each cards with again no results.
I really don't know what to do now and that's why i'm asking for some help.
Thanks in advance.
ps: my Fps rate in farcry 2 or crysis in crossfire mod with all setting at max and x4 anti-aliasing is around 30, my 3d mark06 score is around 14500.
