    Can't crossfire 5770 w/ 5850...

    I unistalled and wiped the drivers etc. Loaded 9.11 clean. I have no crossfire option. both cards have the same driver version etc. Any thoughts?

    I had the 5770, and my wife got me a 5850. I remember guru3d running a review and should the benchmarks. I can't find it now. I know I am not loosing my mind. Oh well. I might try the beta driver. If not, I'll have to get another 5850.

    Ya my wife is pretty cool, she gets me PC stuff every year for Christmas and does a fantastic job at it with no help from me

    I 'll probably get another 5850 after the holidays. I can use the 5770 in my HTPC box anyhow. Oh well, was worth a shot, I still remember seeing these on a review, maybe I am loosing my mind.

    well im pretty sure that ATI supports it (or did) where Nvid doesn't or something it was on some site with an interview with Nvid, and they pointed out that they can do it like ATI but there is no point in supporting it with drivers; and from what i have read there want any type of performance increase as the faster card has to wait for the slower card but for some reason it was a lot slower then 2 of the same card, maybe ATI decided to dump it in these last few drivers try 9.10 or maybe latter im not sure how far back u can go with these cards my Asus CD that came with my 5770 seems to hint back to at least 8.66 but idk....
