(Note 3) To change the Internal Graphics Mode or UMA Frame Buffer Size setting in BIOS Setup, be sure to disable the CrossFire function in the operating system first.Īnd also remember that you need to use the On-board Graphics port, not one on the Graphics Card.
AMD HYBRID CROSSFIREX COMPATIBILITY CHART INSTALL
(Note 2) You do not have to install the graphics card driver if the motherboard chipset driver has been installed. (Note 1) For Windows XP, you must install AMD chipset driver version 8.51 or later. Set UMA Frame Buffer Size to 256MB or 512MB. Set Internal Graphics Mode to UMA+SidePort. I know that you have already done this but just in case, in your frustration you have forgotten, it is best to re-set BIOS as stated in the manual before trying again these are.Įnter BIOS Setup to set the following items under the Advanced BIOS Features menu: However, reading through the mobo manual I did notice that it says under note 2 on page 20: You do not have to install the graphics card driver if the motherboard chipset driver has been installed and I am wondering if you have tried enabling Crossfire without installing the ATI Catalyst 10.6 drivers.Īnother thing to consider would be trying one of the older Catalyst drivers (10.3 for example) as there are some issues being reported on the internet of glitches with the latest version and AMD are already planning to release 10.7.
AMD HYBRID CROSSFIREX COMPATIBILITY CHART MANUALS
To be honest it is a long time since I used crossfire with an On-Board GPU but, having read through the manuals for both the graphics card and your motherboard I can see no obvious reason why you can't get it to work. Someone tell me that Hybrid CrossFire X does work, because it appears to me that I can't get it to work. Then updated to Vista Ultimate 32-bit and reinstalled Catalyst 10.6 for Vista 32-bit, tried ports/bios setting for both OnChipVGA and PCI. Tried using PCI setting (using HD 5450 port). Tried bios setting of UDA+SidePort, 256MB, Surround View Disabled and OnChipVGA (using the onboard port). I should be able get ATI Hybrid CrossFire X working as both should be Hybrid CrossFire X compatible, but have tried Windows XP MCE new install (ATI Catalyst drivers enabled Hybrid CrossFire X with XP since 8.8) and no tab in CCC 10.6 for CrossFire.
