3870 x2 newbie-enable crossfire?

[warup89]

I just got my new 3870 x2 working and i dont know if i have to enable crossfire on CCC, because i cant find an option for it. If i do have to enable it, where is it?

get the 8.2 cats, 8.3 if running vista, if you need to enable it you'll see the option.

i think with the x 2 the option to enable/disable crossfire isnt there.. its on all the time by default..

8.3 is available for all Windows varients, there should be no reason for running 8.2 on a 3 series card

Crossfire Is automatic.......It's on as soon as you fire up your rig with the 3870 x2.

Hope this helps. :)

is it also normal that is shows that i only have 512mb even though its 1gb?

[ShadowFold]

yes, its 512mb x 2, two cores with 512mb each.

[DanishDevil]

It's 512MB per GPU. It's seen as two GPUs with 512MB each.

I heard there is a noticeable performance drop with the XP 8.3 cats.

@warup

I am pretty sure on default it is already enabled.
