    4 Monitor Setup - Not Working - Fixed !


    Hello Everyone,

    After long deliberation I went ahead and bought new PC. The purpose is run 4 monitors with two grahics card, however so far I've no luck. I udpated the drivers, searched on Google and searched here.

    Here is my configuration:
    Intel i7 – 950
    Gigabye X58A-UD3R
    2 x Gigabyte HD 5570
    Win 7 64 Bit

    The two card are connected via bridge and under "Catalyst Contol Center" CrossFirex is enabled.

    Right now only 2 monitor works and they both conneted to same graphics card. If I swap the cables then other 2 monitor works, which tell me that one card is not working at all. However both cards are detected under Device manager.

    Any help is highly appreciated.

    Regards

    I am under the impression that 4 monitors will not work under crossfire. What are you trying to achieve? Do you want a single desktop to span 4 monitors or do you want to play games?

    Thanks for taking time to reply everyone. I am not using this PC to play games. All I want is display stock market charts on all 4 screens.

    No, I've not tried 3 monitors. I am using DVI and VGA connections only, haven't tried HDMI connection yet.

    Please let me know if you have any suggestions

    Do you have the correct drivers installed for crossfire. I have been reading the hotfix 10.9a driver fixes most issues for crossfire.

    I've already updated drivers from that link. It seems that 1 card is not working even though it is detected in Device Manager

    Have you tried it with the crossfire bridge off? I don't use ATI, but with Nvidia you can't use the second card for video output if the SLI bridge is connected, as it disables the outputs.
