gpu clent uneven load on crossfire.

[ALL4AMD]

I was checking out ccc and noticed that my main card is running about 90% load and the 2nd card is only running about 30% load. This is with dual 4850's in crossfire.16x and 8x

my question is this normal?

Is this covered in the GPU2 guide? I'm pretty sure I saw that SLI needs to be disabled, but it would be best if we update the guide to ensure that XFire is indicated as well.

The official Stanford guide do (I added that note this morning)

The current guide here will be trashed very soon to be replaced with a big unified guides sticky,

Try extending the desktop and see if it find the second card. With Vista, you do need to have both cards hooked to a monitor or a vga dummy plug (a KVM also works).
