Enable Crossfire Disables EyeFinity

Post by E2badg »

I need some help....

I have 2 HD 5870's and I cannot do EyeFinity when Crossfire is enabled.

I get 3 duplicate screens but the "Group" option is not on the dropdown list.

I have 2 DVI and 1 Active Display Port on the primary card. If I uncheck Crossfire I can duplicte my screens and the "Group" option is available amd have EyeFinity.

This is driving me crazy...I contacted ATI support while I was at work and they told me that it should work. (they offered to troubleshoot the issue with me but I would need to take a day off work..I live in the East Coast and there support hours are 9-5:30 EST.)

I have seen threads on this issue on other forums but there were no solutions.

Can anyone help me out...

Thanks

Could you tell more about your setup? :)

Did you check that crossfire works with single screen?

Core i7-920, with X58 Chipset its a Gateway FX6800-01e has 6GB of DDR3, triple-channel 1066MHz RAM, a 750GB 7,200rpm SATA-II hard-drive, Graphics :2x Diamond 5870's & 850 PSU

I just tested Crossfire on one monitor..runing Age of Conan...I believe its running ..got the ATI CrossfireX logo on the upper right corner.
