Question about AMD's Crossfire

Go to solution Solved by Askew,

One card, the top one.

When you use two AMD video cards in crossfire can you use all the display interfaces on both cards? Say on Gigabyte 280s, could you use all 4 DVI interfaces, both HDMI interfaces, and both Display Port interfaces at the same time in multi-monitor set-ups?

 

Or are only one of the card's display interfaces enabled at once?

only the top card display outputs works for CrossFire

 

to solve the display output problems

 

you need to get displayport hubs

 

 

 

edit

 

looks like nVidia Geforce cards have the same mode

only the 1st card outputs are working

 

 

unless the other 3rd card is not connected by SLi

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

Those are REALLY old drivers. The newer ones allow at least one output for each card in SLI to operate (Besides 4 way SLI)
