Hi All,
Wondering if anyone can give us a dig out or pointers with my current problem. I've just purchased a nice dell 30" 3008WFP Rev A02 and have two of the above cards in separate PC's. I decided last night to install the other card into Gaming pc and run them in Crossfire mode and see what it would be like to have a few games (Left for Dead 2, COD 5 etc) at full res. of monitor 2556x1600. I installed the latest ATI drivers before running any of the games mentioned. I started up LFD2 within steam and changed the monitor setting with in the game to max res. and applied setting, went through "quick game" online etc. game started but within a couple of secs the monitor screen went blank DVI-D 1 came up with monitor entering energy saving mode. Next thing that happenend GFU card in PCIE 1 accelerated to max fan speed, i.e. very noisy. Check heat from exhaust on card, it was hot but, it wasn't finger melting. Left the machine running for a while, just to allow the GPU fan to cool down card. After about 10 mins I reset machine, to no avail screen still blank. It was getting late at this time and left it till I get home this evening.
I've been having a good few games on this monitor since getting it but at a res. of 1920 x 1200 with all setting at max. no problems. Only experimented yesterday because I bought a dual link DVI-D cable. Just thinking out loud here, I may have all setting at max and just changed the res. to max of monitor!!! hmmm! Surely though 2 of these cards could handle LFD2 at max res.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
