880GM-LE FX and HD5670 in hybrid crossfire

Last response: in Motherboards

Before I bought this board, I researched and found an article on WIKI that read the880G chipset can run hybrid crossfire with the HD 5670 card. I already had the graphics card, so when it came time to upgrade I got the 880gm. I have tried many ways to get these 2 to work to no avail. I can get the HD4250 gpu to show in device manager, but the vision engine disables it. I tried the driver that came with the board and it shows having a problem in dev. mgr and doesn't show in the ati app. I spent a whole day configuring and still never got it to work. My Power color hd 5670 is able to do hybrid crossfire.
Any insight on this will be appreciated, Thank You

Are you running windows 7? My wife has a HIS 5670 and that same 880 LE MoBo and we are going to upgrade to win 7 before i try it. It says in small print on ASRock website that it only works on win 7

Yes Win7 x64. I called AMD tech support and was told that it will not work. The IGP is a 4000 series and my card is 5000. So if it did work, it would revert to the lowest gpu and be useless. He said that it would work if I had a 4000 card. I think it is a marketing thing myself. The 4250 IGP is good by itself if you don't have a graphics card or want it for a HTPC. I am happy getting the PCIE 2.0 on it for my HD 5670, it is working really well on my games.
