Hi,
Having a few problems with my crossfire setup at the moment. When I've been playing games, noticed on some textures/planes (and often on black sections of loading screens etc - but nornally only one "level"?) there is a pattern of rapidly changing thin horizontal blue lines. Using DVI by the way.
If I switch crossfire off (so using the master card only) everything is fine. If I test the slave/secondary card on its own with the crossfire card removed, it is fine.
As the cards are working fine individually, I can only assume that its something playing up on the crossfire side?
I've gone so far as to even put the original cooler back on the crossfire card (was using a zalman with heatsinks on mem and crossfire chips) to see if that makes any difference. Did notice that the card itself gets pretty hot using the stock cooler - i.e. resting finger on edge of card where pcie power connector is, I can feel a lot of heat off the gfx card board? Was not an issue with the zalman.
Stock cooler seems to be working better than before though - would keep on stepping up from slow to normal to fast noticably. Seems to be far more gradual now....(possibly a driver thing?) and pushes out a lot of heat out the back..
Tempted to sell them both off and get a nice single card like a 8000 GTX or 2900XT. Any excuse..
