I'm having a major problem here.
I bought my PC about 4-5 years back. Here are the specs:
As you can see Speccy says crossfire is disabled. Catalyst control center disagrees.
Looking closer at CCC I noticed in the hardware information section that the VRAM on the second card isn't displayed correctly/has suddenly grown by 4x.

And the second card is desplayed as "hypermemory", whatever that is. When I got the cards they were advertised as DDR3 VRAM cards.
Back when I got the computer they both had 256 MB of cause.
So I did the obvious stuff, updated drivers (which I had major problems doing, but I managed to do it when only one card was in the computer), checked that both the bridges work (CCC complains when either one is missing). Checking that it's not a PCI slot problem by running both cards solo in each slot.
Nothing works. I have not felt one day "ugh, feels like crossfire broke" though. I have only reinstalled windows twice, and the last time was ages ago. TF2 and just about every other game recommends single GPU settings.
And my card is clearly not used since during load the primary one is the only one who goes up in temperature by any significant amount.
Something that also confuses me is that GPUZ tells me that one of the cards is a 2GPU card.

Second card says crossfire is disabled.
Preformance doesn't suffer one bit when I pull one of them out. So it's not that it's just saying that crossfire isn't working. It's not working.
Anyone knows what to do? I'd like to use my second graphics card anytime soon. Not just have it heat my house.
