Why can I not run HD5770 + X1550 at the same time?

norm · 7 Feb 2011 at 11:00

Using Windows 7 x64, I really need to make use of the TV-out function on the X1550 but when I try to run it with the HD5770 I can only use one card, the other will complain about not being able to start because of memory resources etc.

Any ideas?

The 5770 has HDMI output does it not?

i'm thinking the OP has a non HD television

hence the problem, but yes 5770's come with full Hdmi and onboard audio

Wonderfully useless posts. I have the HD5770 in my possession so I don't exactly need telling it has a HDMI port.

This forum really has gone down hill.

Having been a reluctant poster for many years even before the nuke of 2002 i can say yes this forum has gone down hill!

I was inferring a little to prompt you for more useful information as to why the 5770 does not provide all you need!

as they are both PCI-E cards I would consider the possibility that they will only work with crossfire enabled but I would also think this would severely limit the power of your 5770 (As xfire will limit all cards to the speed slowest one), there for the only option I can come up with would be a standard PCI graphics card of another brand (because they cannot be used in xfire there for no mix ups)

I do hope this post has been of use to you in some way.
