No CrossFireX options in Catalyst

[JefferPUK]

Hey guys,
I'm running dual MSI R4870X2 cards in CrossFire and don't get any CrossFire configuration/diagnostic options in the CCC. All I get is a checkbox to enable CrossFire.

It was my understanding that CCC allows you to choose a rendering technique but this doesn't seem to be the case.

However, CrossFire is definitely working as I get a much higher score on 3DMark Vantage compared to having CrossFire disabled.

I'm using the latest drivers from the MSI site, which is 8.501 - 2008-08-07.


Set up:
Asus Rampage Extreme
Intel Q9650 @ 4.06 GHz
4 GB Corsair Dominator RAM @ 1800MHz
2x 4870X2 OC Edition
Vista 64 bit
Corsair 1000W PSU


Score on 3DMark Vantage:
Without CrossFire: 15739
With CrossFire: 21089


Is there something I'm missing with the setting up of CrossFire?!

Money to burn?
Sorry, I'll go away now.

I think thats all you do for Xfire now, tick the enable box, and you want the drivers from the ATi site, 8.9's are the latest.

Only NV let you specify rendering modes, CF is just 'yes' or 'no'.

I Didn't even have the option of a tick box in 8.9's God knows what is wrong with the drivers but I re-downloaded and re-installed the 8.9s twice after a full old driver sweep through and still had no joy.
Went back to 8.8's and it's working fine!!

go figure
