No Crossfire Option (A8 5600K + Sapphire HD 6670 on Gigabyte F2A88XM-HD3)

I need help regarding the subject. I've been doing some research for a fix and it seems that I can't find any solution. I would appreciate any form of advice.

what output are you using? integrated on motherboard or graphics card?

 

[jairuz]

Thanks for the immediate reply! Currently, I use graphics card output. I've been doing the switching to & from the mobo and video card many times now hoping to see if I can enable the Crossfire option.

In your Bios settings there should be your integrated graphics and graphics card, you can pair them in bios settings. The software is AMD system Monitor

How can I pair them in the bios settings?

You might want to go here- http://www.amd.com/us/products/technologies/dual-graphics/Pages/dual-graphics.aspx#4

I would set everything at stock default settings, then put the 6670 in the PCI-E slot, boot windows and install the latest catalyst driver (either 13.1 or 13.3 Beta), enable dual graphics (hybrid crossfire) in the catalyst control center under performance settings, install the catalyst application profiles, test to make sure the dual graphics works right in the games you play

Well, the main problem is I can't see the Crossfire option under Performance in Catalyst. I made sure that all my purchase to build this rig are crossfire/dual graphics compatible, but it doesn't let me. Will installing the Catalyst driver 13.1 or 13.3 beta resolve this issue? Currently, I'm on 13.12.

 

[unknownofprob]

yes, update to the latest one

I'm currently on Catalyst 13.12, released on 12/18/2013. Problem still persists: No AMD Crossfire Option in Catalyst.

have you disabled the integrated graphics?

 

[jairuz]

have you disabled the integrated graphics?

Nope. I set it to Force and 1GB UMA Buffer Size.

Nope. I set it to Force and 1GB UMA Buffer Size.

Seeing AMD's reports, the recomended graphics card fro the A8 is the 6570, that said the 6670 should be showing on the catalyst menu.

AMD Said: Make sure you have downloaded the latest AMD graphics drivers. After driver installation, the option to enable AMD Radeon™ Dual Graphics should become available in the AMD VISION Engine Control Center.

Once installed, go into the “Performance” section of the AMD VISION Engine Control Center and check the box that says 'Enable Crossfire™' - this will allow the AMD A-Series APU graphics to work in tandem with the select AMD Radeon™ HD 6000 Series GPU installed for increased graphics performance.

-It should be there but if it isn't the GPU must not be compatible with the CPU

Not compatible? What a bummer then. Unresolved. Thanks for you time.

Still worth trying, it should be in the AMD VISION engine control centre as what all the AMD sites say the card can be crossfired It never said not compatible but it isn't the recommended card for that particular CPU
