I'm selling my old rig to another guy and he bought two brand new ATI sapphire 6950 1GB video cards to go in it. I know some of you will want to comment that its so over kill compared to the rest of the hardware and I tried to save the guy's money but in the end its his $$ to spend...
Set up: Q9550 @ 3.825GHz (water cooled), 2x2GB DDR 1066, FSB 450MHz on a Gigabyte GA-X48-DS5. Fresh install of Vista 64 Prem on a new WD Black with a new Corsair TX750.
System is prime stable, temps are great, everything is up to date including chipset.
Problem: ATI CCC 11-6 shows both 6950s but only seems to be controlling the first one. It shows that cross fire is enabled but when I go to the other card in the drop down menue it is showing me the temp as 0C and 000 values for the clocks. I tried to change fan speed and it would not respond. It let me move the slider bar to manually set a fan speed but when I hit apply it did not work. The first card does work when I attempt to change a setting like fan speed and I immediately hear the fan speed up.
6950 # 1
6950 # 2
I have tried fully removing the drivers and reinstalling them. I have also checked the power connections and reseated the card. Everything looks fine. I know both ports are good because I ran them in cross fire with two ATI cards before.
Do you think I should roll back the drivers to 11-5 and try again or is there something else going on here?
