Go to solution Solved by xtelemonx,

finaly figured out all i had to do was put the 290 on top :/

Posted

I have my hands on a second r9 290 and I already have a 290x. I've installed both the cards in my system and uninstalled/reinstalled catalyst control center. However I still don't get the option for crossfirex in ccc. I've double checked my psu connections and made sure both cards are seated in the pci-e slots. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Does one card have to be seated above the other?

Also, it should be absolutely fine for you.

 

In 'Device Manager' are there 2 x 'Radeon R9 200 Series' in the 'Display Adaptors' part?

 

r9 290 and r9 290x are different cards...

 

 

I've got that exact same combination and it works absolutely fine.

Remember, crossfire can work with different cards.

Only SLI becomes a bitch when it comes to compatibility.

It only shows one r9 200 series. I know this card works because I pulled it out of my friends crossfire system.

Are they both in the slots properly with their own PCIE power 8+6pin connectors?

Has to be the same series of cards like 79xx will work together and 78xx will work together but a 78xx will not work with a 79xx card.
