I now have 2 Sapphire ATI HD 5770s on crossfire, and want to put my second monitor on the second card. However, when I plug the DVI cable in, I get no image. How can I fix this? This Works:

Try booting with the first graphics card and then swap to the second graphics card. Just a guess but who never shoots never scores. Otherwise you might want to contact your PC manufacturer (or if its a custom build than contact the graphics card manufacturer) Done that, I'll phone AMD first thing tomorrow :D Are you sure you installed all the drivers through AMD (http://support.amd.com/us/Pages/AMDSupportHub.aspx) Yes, I have done. |

Tim, Make sure if in Crossfire that Crossfire is enabled in the BIOS. Second, swap the cable arrangement and make the DVI the primary. I have display ports on my machine along with DVI and I found that display port won't come alive until the actual Windows splash screen comes up. In other words, your system may not be recognizing a monitor at all because the HDMI is not sending a pre-windows boot signal. Just a thought. How can I enable xfire in the bios? I have an Asus board with the standard Asus bios? My understanding from a tech here in town was that Crossfire on ASUS boards actually had to be turned on in the BIOS. I have not had to do this as my boards only support one card. He also warned me that Crossfire on ASUS boards can be short lived and actually cause damage. I personally would try changing the cables and see if that works first. I've heard nothing about crossfire damaging boards, but I'll have to look into that. I have only 1 bridge installed. The xfire works fine, I've noticed an increase in performance, but I have a feeling it could be a little better. Where about's in the BIOS could I expect to find the settings? I'm looking at the book for one of my boards. You can do this from Windows. It recommends uninstalling all previous GPU drivers. I think you just added a card so you should be ok. Start the ATI Catalyst and go to advanced settings. Click Graphics Settings>CrossFireX>Configure. Select the GPU to act as the display GPU and then selct Enable CrossFireX. Click Apply. Ah, I've done this, so it should all be good. I thought you meant in the bios at boot. That's what I was told but I'm seeing on my boards that it can be done through Windows. I've done that, so I can confirm it can. It even asked me on the first boot with the second card. I'm just not sure how I can get the second card to output, it's not a major issue, but my self diagnosed OCD requires everything to work. I am also seeing that you can check something in the BIOS. If you want, enter the BIOS. Go to Ai Tweaker menu and set UMA Frame Buffer Size to 256M or above. Select Advanced>Chipset>890GX(???)Configuration>Internal Graphics Configuration and set Surround View to Enabled. Save changes and exit. This is for ATI Hybrid CrossFireX Technology. can you guys just read my comment and stop wasting your time Tim, check this out: http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/737-GPU-7-Howtoconfiguremultiple.aspx It says it can be done however you may have to disable CrossFireX through the Catalyst Control Panel.

Open up ATI CCC and it is all in the Displays Settings. |
By the way, the small black plug is an HDMI, not a display port
