Not sure how cross fire play into this - if you need it for gaming or not, but it isn't needed fr mining/folding. If that is all you are doing, you can actually remove and disable it. Maybe then the software will see the two cards...

 

Hopefully someone else with actually mining experience can further clarify. :)

Maybe use different mining software..?

I would like to start mining LiteCoins but i don't find any easy tutorials or programs like BitMinter.

 

 

Do both of them show up in overclocking software like afterburner?

Yes, both of them show but the second Graphics Card, i can't overclock it.
