Question (Q&A-88):When I install ATI HD6670, HD6570, and HD6450 on A75/A55 series motherboards, there is no display output from VGA card. What can I do? (9/1/2011)
Answer:please update latest BIOS form our website.
Download link: http://www.asrock.com/support/download.asp

Or, enter BIOS > North Bridge Configuration, and set [Dual Graphics] to [Disabled].

Have you updated your BIOS and check if the mentioned option is set to "Enable"?

Like i originally stated its due to hardware restriction on your motherboard not software try contacting motherboard manufacture to see if they can shed some light it to why this is not possible.....

Hope this helps

Ok i'll do that. I got this motherboard because it claimed to be dual graphics ready. I guess I'm going motherboard shopping soon if not.

I know that's what i meant was which APU model has hes got and with what GPU model incorporated, as this may have some bearing on his problem.

Could it be that the 6670 needs to be CF compatible? Does your HD6670 have a CF conector? :confused:

Have you contacted Asrock orAMD about your problem?

6670 runs CF through the motherboard, so none of them have a CF connector.

Be sure that within your bios you have the "initialized display First" set to onboard. that might not be what its called on your board but it something similar.

yeh. my motherboard is only suppose to be able to process crossfire through my onboard initializing first so having it set as my default graphics adapter was one of the first things I did. Thanks anyway!

dam.. It's so hard to accept the fact that my hardware is capable of dishing out almost twice the visual performance power and some little thing that I just don't see if preventing me from doing so.. ahhhh

Have you asked Asrock? Could this issue be enough cause for an RMA?

RMA is the process by which you send the motherboard back to the manufacture

from the OP. Have you fixed this? We almost have the same specs. I wonder when I checked using GPU-Z and select my onboard on the dropdown. It shows Crossfire enabled. How can I verify if its really working as hybrid crossfire? I read above that it shud be HD 6990D2 I guess? Thanks!:)

Yeah we have the same specs except for the 8gb ram. I managed it to work but then again i am not sure. I put the graphics to pci express then insert the monitor to the onboard slot. Run the catalyst and check the game performance. Amd crOssfire then the check box is enabled. Running gpu-z it shows the onboard crossfire enabled but the 6670 shows disabled.

By the way i think i managed it to work. Now my 6670 shows crossfire enabled on gpu z and on the manager dual graphics is checked. What i did was I remove the display adapter on device manager both of them. Then insert the hdmi on the 6670 download the latest driver then it shows.

ok wait, i'm not sure I understand. On your first reply you said you had your hdmi plugged into your onboard, but then you said in the other one that you plugged it into the 6670 after uninstalling both the onboard and the 6670 driver in the device manager. which one should i do? haha

edit: and by manager do you mean the bios set up?
