Hi,
Please help. I've just put together the following system:
850W Akasa AK-P085FG-BKUK PowerMax
Akasa 850watt PSU
Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit
2 X 320 GB Hitachi HD
2 X 512MB HiS HD3870 Iceq3 Turbo FullHD
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450
4 x 2gb mushkin pc8000 ram
I have installed the latest windows updates. Have the latest bios version. Using catalyst 8.4.
Cannot get device manager to display 2 cards at present so I can enable crossfire.
I have tried each card singuarly in different PCIE_16 slots and the cards and slots work fine.
1. I then place a card in PCIE_16_1 and connect the monitor cable to his card, install drivers, reboot and that card is displayed within device manager.
2. I shutdown and place a card in PCIE_16_2 boot and vista automatically installs the drivers for that card. But I have to change the monitor cable to the card in PCIE_16_2 to get a picture, and the card that is in PCIE_16_1 disappears from device manager.
I can not get 2 cards to display within device manager. I've tried many combinations but only the card in PCIE_16_2 appears in device manager when 2 cards are installed.
Ahh..... I've been at this for over a week visting many forums please help.
