    Crossfire connector isn't needed for crossfire for them, but they do seem to be the more stable ones

    Do you have any recommendations for vBIOS? I also have been struggling with my Alienware m17 R2 trying to get this M6100 running stable. It works perfectly fine if i run fur mark to stress test and most games run good, however, Halo 2 Vista, random websites and youtube completely lock up the computer and it has to be hard powered off.

    I don’t think it’s a vbios issue. It’s driver issues.

    When I had the cards installed in my m18x r2 in windows 10, I let windows auto install the drivers and it worked without any issue.

    On another hand, if I choose the AMD drivers to install on my own, the cards would lock up or freezes the laptop and I have to force shutdown. No matter what drivers I choose to manually install, it had that same issue.

    In my opinion , for AMD cards, I let windows auto install as it knows what drivers is very compatible with the cards.
