So it has been about 5 days since I got my 2gb Sapphire HD 7850 from Newegg. I was planning on doing a crossfire setup with my other Asus 2gb HD 7850 but after days of trying to get it to work, I have not been successful. I would appreciate it if someone could help me. Battlefield 4 beta comes out in a few days D:

No :( but both cards work.[/quotemsg]

Have you tried un-installing and re-installing drivers?
also do this
Go to registry and disable Ulps:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\ControlSet001\\Control \\Cl ass\\{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}]

and change "EnableUlps" to 0 under the 0

Have you tried any other games?

whats the rest of you Specs?

have this running in the background while playing and check to see how both GPU's are doing

Well when I go into the Catlyst Center crossfire is enabled. Then when I go to AMD Overdrive and select the second card, it has 0 for everything except for fan speed and I can't change anything. Also when I play games like Battlefield 3 I get a lower framerate with crossfire

Download TechGPU Z and look at the bottom. it should say Crossfire enable. Also, did you try both GPU separately to make sure there both working?

I have used both crossfire bridges that I have, like I said the cards are powered on I can see the fans spinning but I cannot do anything within the Catalyst Center. I also have gotten both the stable and beta drivers, no luck. But if I put the Sapphire card on top it works perfectly, very strange

Only one GPU works at a time yes. The one in the primary slot works perfectly, so both the Sapphire and Asus one work.

Here is what you do. start your PC with both card both don't attach the CF bridge yet. Once your in windows, connect the bridge, remove and re-install drivers. When your in CCC, does it have a check in the box that says Enable Crossfire?

Also what other games you tried?
