    Question Last Radeon driver to support Dual Graphics (APU + GPU crossfire)

    Final update and great news! I found a 1gb GDDR5 version of the ASUS R7 250 and it was Oland. In addition, the last driver that works for the A10 7890k also still has dual graphics/crossfire and even allows for adjusting crossfire profiles. Version 21.5.2 released 5-11-2021 For anyone going...

    Question Last Radeon driver to support Dual Graphics (APU + GPU crossfire)

    A little update for everyone and especially future retro PC enthusiast who may run into this issue: there are two versions of the R7 250. The one based on codename Oland with 384 shaders, and one based on Cape Verde with 512. Based on my research, only the Oland designs will work in dual...

    Question Last Radeon driver to support Dual Graphics (APU + GPU crossfire)

    Video Camera for Powermac G5

    Hello everyone! I am traditionally a Windows man (especially the older flavors of Windows) but I also have an old Powermac G5 2.5Ghz Quad with an Nvidia Quadro 4500 and 16Gb of ram.

    Asus P5B deluxe with Pentium Extreme Edition issue- no boot

    Got the q9650, and it works. Runs great in fact! This is my dedicated XP machine, so it is old and outdated, but it needs to be. Thanks for tagging along everyone. Now I have two Extreme Editions that will find boxes in the future.

    Bios flash failure! (Asus P5B Deluxe Wifi-AP (LGA 775))

    Started a new thread. CPU is probably fine. Must be a bios compatibility issue.
