Graphics Card
XFX 6870
AMD Catalyst Driver Version, and Driver History
12.11

Operating System
64-bit; W7 SP1 all update
Issue Details
Trying to dual card the A10 onboard GPU with XFX 6870

Have set BIOS on MB for dual graphics, Dual graphics and crossfire don't show up in CCC

Motherboard or System Make & Model
BIOSTAR HI-FI 85W

Power Supply
750W Rosewil
Display Device(s) and Connection(s) Used
Acer 19" flat screen

CPU Details
A10 5800 Black Box

System Memory Type & Amount

Additional Details
I am afraid the 6870 is not compatible with the GPU on the A10 5800? Is there any workaround? Or am I better off just dropping the $ for a second XFX 6870?

Thanks

Don

The best gpu u can put ob 5800k is 6670, your better off with the 6870 or 2x 6870, because the 6670 with a10 on crossfire is not great

Since your board only supports pci-e x16,x4 your best bet would be to take back that 6870 (if you can) and get one 7950 and forget about crossfireing.

I kinda figerd that pinhead just your suggestion of CF'ing 6870's would have been a waste of money
