No Crossfire option

[Tetor]

Hi,

I have a Dell XPS710 which comes with the X1950 Crossfire Edition and
the X1950 Crossfire Series. I've loaded the latest drivers and Catalyst
(8.33, 7.1) yet I don't have a Crossfire option within Catalyst.

I've tried connecting the cable from the VHDCI port on the Edition to a
DVI port on the Series card, and the other end to my monitor, but it
doesn't display anything. Within Displays Manager I have 4 screens - is
this normal? Shouldn't 2 of these be 'merged' if I'm using Crossfire?

I'm running XP Home.

Can anyone suggest what might be wrong here?

Thanks,

I'm not familiar with crossover very well.

Darth Shaidar would be the guru of this section.

The 4 monitor thing is normal, not getting output from the Master card is not.

Try the 7.2 Catalysts for XP32 found here: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206..._enu_41238.exe

Also, have you called Dell yet? That XPS system comes with 24/7 phone support and a next-business-day on-site warranty.
