Crossfire - Drivers and such...:D

[Dsub]

Been doing a lot of forum grinding to find a solution to some Crossfire problems.

Some of the problems include:-

Screen jitter/shake when using DVI to DVI cable

BSoD when alt-tab'ing or using windows key within 3D apps

Loss of picture synch in games

It seems that all these problems are driver issues and can be solved by using the 6.1.5 Beta catalyst which i have tested and is very stable.

Actually also some problems have been caused by dual 12v rail power supplies apparently

Make of that what you will...

I thought that was a bit weird as well! Funnily enough, neither the Akasa or the OCZ are ATI certified for the X1900.

Certified list is here: http://www.ati.com/technology/crossfire/certifiedcrossfire.html

Another thing ive noticed. When i was just using one card i could go into my CCC and go to Avivo Color and change the Saturation and color of my games/desktop.Now the setting is no longer there.Moniter Properties has disapeared from my list in CCC. Anyone know what problem is as i like to boost the color im my games

I posted about the crossfire flicker some days ago...

The reason is down to changing the gamma settings in the control panel...

If you leave the gamma set to stock you wont get the flicker in some games...

It seems the gamma only changes the master card in a crossfire setup...

Well tonight i was running me X1900 Crossfire fine and suddenly a huge bang and my computer shut down lol. PSU has gone. I was using the recommended 550W for DUAL cards aswell but think its because it is an old PSU and was ready for going.Ill tell you tho, i **** my pants, thought i had just blown up 900 quid in gfx cards lol.

Im ordering a FSP sparkle 700W psu tomorrow, hopefully that should give my pc enough power.

I would have needed a change of under pants for sure.

If that was the case tho. That i was using recommended psu and it took out my gfx cards would the warrenty not cover it?

Lol, my heart was pumping so fast. Made such a loud bang my dog jumped off bed and ran out room lol
