New to actually doing crossfire instead of reading about it. I have a seriously strange problem.
I have two HDs installed, one with a full boat Win 7 ultimate 64 bit and traditional HD.
The second is Win 8.1 on an EVO SSD 512 meg.
The video cards are both Sapphire Dual X, one 7950, one 280X. I installed the card, booted to 8.1, the card was not recognized by CCC so I removed all drivers, removed card and driver in control panel and rebooted. The installed CCC again, this time the card was recognized and I enabled CF. Any game I tried crashed in a few seconds, black screen, even locking the PC. I pulled the CF bridge.
I decided to take a look and booted Win7, CCC immediately recognized the cards, told me I needed to connect the bridge, shut down connected bridge and booted. Played AC4, Bioshock infinite, COD ghost, all with no profiles installed. The cards worked and my temps were great.
What the _)*&*& is going on in Win 8.1 ????
Crosshair V MB. 16 gigs ram, no OC. AMD 8350, no OC. 1K Rosewill pwr. supply.
1.5 TB HD and a 512 SSD.
Any suggestions?
