I have read that the 5870 and the 5900 can be run in crossfire mode with no problem. so I moved the 5870 into the main box and hooked up the cable and nuttin. I reinstalled 11.9 catayst drivers and still nuttin. so I reinstalled the board drivers, Still nuttin.
Then I flashed the BIOS and still nuttin, so I reinstalled the Catalyst again and the log sees 3 gpu's but windows still wont see the card. So now I am reinstalling the drivers as an administrator, Maybe that will fixit...
Nope, still nuttin....
In basic mode Catalyst says driver version is "Not Available" and Second drive path is "not available" either. The hardware section only shows the 5900 series and can't read anything else. it is all Not Available...
Suggestions would be appreciated _________________ a.k.a. Licentious of Borg.........Resistance Really is Futile.......

Did you have a load (monitor or dummy load) on both cards? The BIOS tries to only activate connected cards during boot.

I finally got both Catalyst and windows to recognize both cards but it would only run 2 wu's. Gpu core 2 just sat on 0% and the times were still 1/2 hour per WU. So I pulled the card and put everything back the way I started. I just won't run the 3 9800GTX's until I can build a new comp....
The 5870 is faster than all 3 9800's put together anyway, I was just being greedy.... _________________ a.k.a. Licentious of Borg.........Resistance Really is Futile.......
