Hi, i recently ordered a laptop which i recieved on friday, but have been unable to get the two graphics cards (AMD 5870 mobility) to work in crossfire when playing games such as Company of heroes and Supreme commander and other games also.
Company of Heroes fickers and will crash if i attempt to start a game, in supreme commander i can start a game but the graphics will vibrate a lot and is not playable. Other games do not seem to work, however when i disable crossfire mode, every game works fine, which to me suggest either the crossfire drivers have issues or one of the cards is faulty.
I think it is fair to say that i should not have to disable crossfire mode in order for games to work, otherwise that is a waste of a very expensive graphics card! . I have tried updating the graphics drivers / going back to older versions etc in a attempt to get them to work with no luck.
Apprechiate any help on the matter, spec and order reference are below:
Order No - 345948
Clevo X8100
i7-920XM (2.00GHz)
2 x 1Gb AMD 5870 Mobility Graphics
160GB Intel® X25-M 2.5" SSD
500GB SERIAL ATA II 2.5"
Blu Ray Drive
One thing to note the graphic cards were a last minute change on my order as the 285m 1Gb Nvidia was out of stock so PCSpecialist offered this as an alternative.
Thanks!
