Crossfire in my hands now too ... ~8)

Are we supposed to set the PCIX slots to 8X? I have them 16x and 12x..

Both gfx 0 and 1 in bios should be x8.


Btw, My crossfire enabled mode disappears in CCC.

After I shut down far cry, I look in both ati tool and ccc, only master card device gets recognized.
Only way get it going again without re-installing drivers is
take slave card out of pci-e slot. Then you just put it back in boot up and
device gets recognized and crossfire could be enabled through CCC.
Happens with games.

This is with DFI RDX-200 CF-DR.

Yep, was IRQ conflict with the karajan audio device. I only used my
RDX-200 with pair of X850's to run some CrossFire 3d marks, never tried
any games with crossfire till other night and discovered this conflict.
Cause, when i ran 3d benches I would disable audio.

Ok, I finally got it working. Here's my experience in case someone has similar problems.

My breakthrough point was when I clicked on the 3 monitor in Displays in CCC. After doing that and answering a bunch of stuff about "are you sure, that seems to be inactive", I was able to get both adapters to show up in the drop down.

Then, when selecting my slave card, under Crossfire section it had a warning about making sure my CF Cable was connected (like it could tell it wasn't).

It said to press F1 for more info and in that section I read it said something to the effect that only 1 of the 2 DVI-I slots on the slave card could be used for the compositing.

So after attaching the cable to the CF card, and attaching the cable to the TOP DVI port on the slave (which is contrary to my diagram that came with the CF card), upon reboot, selecting Crossfire on my CF Edition Adapter in CCC showed a warning about connecting my monitor to my CF Cable (it was currently in the DVI port on my Master card.

Moved the monitor to the other connecter and selecting Crossfire Enabled!

I would check all your configs/settings over, your score seems low for two X1800's.

You should be getting over 12.5K on 05 with stock clks on cards.

Whats spd is the opty running at ??

Everything is stock and nothing is tweaked yet. Will have a go at that tomorrow.

You should be getting 12-13 stock, 9800, obviously something is wrong there.
