    Little snag with the M17x-r2, for specs check my sig

    My Ati Catalydst control center says i have enabled crossfire, ( the box is ticked, changes applied and screen flashed blank once)

    But i Downloaded GPU-Z and it says,

    "Disabled ( Crossfire Available) "

    Anyone know whats wrong? How can i fix this? Thx

    could have posted in your original thread... but make sure steath mode is turned off. What GPU is being found by GPU-Z?

    well i thought this was more of a bug/problem as one program tells me its there while another commonly used program is not.

    On GPU-Z it can see two 4870s so its there.
    It says crossfire is avaiable but i just can't enabled it for the life of me. And yes Stealth mode is off i pressed fn + f7

    Just messing with you. Hvae you run any benchmarks? That can tell us if both cards are really working together or not. There are some issues with CCC. What drivers do you have? Have you recently changed? Maybe try rolling back to a system restore point.
