Title: Will Windows XP support 3 gpus? Post by: michaelmclees on June 03, 2011, 03:32:40 PM I've heard conflicting things. Some say yes, others say no.
I can get 2 to run, but the third seems to be completely invisible to Windows XP. I'm running 2 5850's and a 5870. I can only get Windows to see 2 at a time. I have my monitor on 1 and dummy plugs in the others. Title: Re: Will Windows XP support 3 gpus? Post by: um0rion on June 04, 2011, 03:45:24 AM I've heard conflicting things.

Only thing I can think of is that you havent extended the displays on the other card, so it's still technically disabled. Go in to the display properties and add a display to the side, that's what it took for me to get it to work. Title: Re: Will Windows XP support 3 gpus? Post by: michaelmclees on June 04, 2011, 01:02:31 PM I can't extend the display because Windows doesn't even seem to know it's there. With my two cards, I have 4 "HD 5800's" or something like that when I right click on CCC. That's where I can extend the display on the second card. But with three cards, there should be 6, so I'd have my primary display on #1, extend #3, and extend #5. That way all three cards are turned on.
It's like it's not plugged in. But I know it is because the fan on it is spinning. |
