    Hi Everyone,

    Silly question, I know, but I was wondering if someone could tell me how to enable "crossfire" mode using AMD's Catalyst Control Center?

    I *just* received a new computer that I purchased from CyberPower, Inc., and want to make sure it is all setup right. When I open the CC Center and look at the Information -> Hardware section it shows the "Primary Adapter" (AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series) but does not show a "second adapter" or the second card. Does that indicate a problem, or is this normal?

    Beyond that there is just no blatantly obvious way to enable crossifre (like there was for setting up SLI with my NVIDIA cards).

    I appreciate any and all help/advice, thanks!

    To enable Crossfire you would need a Crossfire Bridge Interconnect between the two GPU's, you may also need to disable the integrated GPU in the BIOS as well.
    Once this cable is connected you should see the option for crossfire in CCC.

    As for the second card could you install GPU-Z and screenshot the information from it (especially the drop down list that should show all graphics adapters) - http://www.techpower...U-Z_v0.6.2.html

    EDIT: As a note to others the question was also posted here, with no replies as of this post - http://forums.techguy.org/games/1054225-enable-crossfire-catalyst-control-center.html
