I started a new post instead of posting in Welcome to CrossFire sticky as many people who ask questions don't read update to stickies so I figured it might receive more attention here, sorry if that was wrong.


Ok, I know I'm not the only one who's asked this question before as I've seen it here before and just seconded it.


My question to ATI was:

In CCC using the 8.10 update, under Information Center - Graphics Hardware it shows one primary adapter and a disabled adapter. I am using 2 MSI HD4870s. Is this correct?


ATI responded (this was my 4th ticket about this same issue):

This is normal. It just means that a secondary monitor is not connected.

If crossfire wasn't working then you won't even have an option in the catalyst control center to enable crossfire.



I know people here and on other forums suggested the same idea, but no one could verify or even admit they were 100% sure, so after finally getting a valid response FROM ATI, I thought I'd share it here for anyone else worried about their CrossFire setup. Hope this ends anyone elses worries, sure does for me.

Yeah, it almost seems self-explanatory, but obviously not if myself and many others had the same question. Even the official ati forums are spammed with this issue yet no ATI rep responded to them over such a simple issue. It took them 4 tries to answer mine, but the answer was a whopping sentence, very simple, not sure why it took so long to get a response, but well worth the wait.
