Actually the card has reached 900/1050 while running my game. However it is not remaining consistent. The core speed keeps bouncing around from 300, 775 then 900. The corespeed will remain at 900 for a short period of time then drop to 300 again. In game I am using fraps and I see this is...

Hi all, I am in a pickle, while tryin to figure out why I was getting terrible fps in a game i was playing I came noticed that in CCC while the game was running my card is running at Even with overdrive on it never goes beyond 775 on the core. I have no idea how to resolve this issue. I...

I have the latest bios that is on the msi website. Dont look like they have released a new on in quite some time now.

I'm running a MSI mobo and a amd 790fx & SB600 chip-set. Supposedly this mobo is extremely compatible with several combination of crossfire compatible cards, it was even recommended on the ATI/AMD web page for several months before newer models came out. My experience thus far has been to the...

I have given up. went back to just the x2 card in this sytem and placed the 3870 in a different computer.

I'm going to give up myself, I spent the entire day screwing with this thing and have gotten close a few times but it really is not worth the time and effort anymore. I have built several SLI systems and honestly at this point that is the way to go. AMD/ATI claims about crossfire are totally...

Ok so this time i unistalled CCC removed both cards from the system and made sure the x2 card was in the x16 slot designated as slot 1 on the mobo. places the 3870 card in the slot designated as slot 2 on the mobo... left the link cable off booted up the system and reinstalled the CCC. After...

well after plugging the monitor cable into the 3870 card and rebooting the computer, i got my post screen back but no windows login, plugged the monitor cable back into the x2 and got windows back. I unistalled CCC and vid drivers, shut down the pc than plugged monitor cable back into the 3870...

So I should plug into the single 3870 and not the X2? Wouldn't that be slower to have the single gpu as the master and the x2 as a slave? Also it does currently show up as 3 gpu in device manager as well as in CCC.

I will try and plug the monitor into the regular 3870, and see if that makes the difference, I was hopeing not to have to move the 3870x2 but if the monitor being plugged into the 3870 works. Than it looks like i have allot of rearranging to do in my case to fit that behemoth 3870x2 into the...

hmm, is there a way to designate what card is the master and what card is the slave? my mobo manual does not state that one slot is master and another slave. it has 4 vid card slots ...2 dark blue ones x16 slots and 2 light blue slots x8 slots. my 3870x2 is plugged into the slot that the mobo...

same setup different issue I have the same cards I have a sapphire 3870x2 and a sapphire 3870 toxic edition in crossfire config on a msi k9a2 platinum mobo, mine however show up in CCC as crossfire enabled. My problem is that my system will not display the system post information anymore. The...
