Catalyst Control Center showing up 6 cards

Tristano80 · Jan 30, 2013, 01:38 AM

Hi guys and sorry in advance for the noobish question. I have some doubts about Catalyst Control Center, i'll explain a bit what happened before. I recently updated my PC configuration from two Radeons HD 6850 in xfire to a single Radeon HD 7950. During my xfire times, i remember that until Catalyst 12.6, CCC shown 6 cards with xfire turned off and just 3 cards with xfire turned on. When i installed later Catalysts, CCC shown 9 cards and 6 cards respectively, with a relevant performance decrease. I was stuck to 12.6.
Now that i use a single VGA, i installed the new catalyst release (13.1) after performing a clean uninstall (driver sweeper in safe mode). I expected to see just 3 cards in the CCC, but it turns to show 6. Is it normal or do i have some issues? Do you guys have the same number shown? thanks in advance and sorry again

Each "card" corresponds with a video output on your graphics card. My 7950 shows 4 "cards" and it has a DVI, HDMI and 2x DP outputs. I remember using Radeon 9500/9700 Pro cards years ago and they always listed 9500/9700 and 9500/9700 - Secondary in CCC's tray icon context menu.

I have your same number of outputs on my 7950, so i think CCC (or vision engine control center, now is called like that) should show 4 card as well. I remember some time ago, when i had xfire, CCC messed up and shown lot of cards...i have no idea how to check if everything is fine.

If I right-click the CCC icon it shows 6. Always has afaik.

It depends on the particular design of the card as well.
I wouldn't worry about it too much as long as the card is running fine.

Well my Vga is a Gigabyte Windforce Radeon HD 7950 and it is running fine. I just wanted to be sure that some kind of software or drivers didn't messed up creating a sort of bottleneck.
