crimson is for the 5000 series and a few other i believe....the way i read it is they made it for these older cards, or made a legacy driver for it? idk maybe im confused but the driver issue with the HD 5000 series and few others seems to be common...theres a few ways ppl claim to of solved it. and no, besides the word of a friend i have no proof the card works...i took it apart to clean and redue the thermal pads, it honestly wasnt that beat up and cleaned up super nice...the 3 lights on top the card light up correctly, fans spin, motherboard recognizes it but when i put an hdmi or dvi xabke on it i get "no signal."
-you know maybe i skipped over the safe mode install, im 99% sure I tried but maybe not with all the combinations of fixes, thanks for the reminder i will make sure my bases are covered.
