Title: 5970 and H61M mobo
Post by: skleven on October 25, 2013, 02:20:26 PM
Hi.

I guess i have to try my luck here now. I got a 5970 gpu from a buddy of mine, and tried to set it up with a Gigabyte H61M mobo.
But i can`t get it to work. I was thinking maybe it`s because the mobo doesn`t support crossfire. It`s a m-ATX with 1x PCI-e x16
and 2x PCI-e X1. I run the same mobo with a 7870 and a 7950 together. Does anybody know if i can get this to work? Do i need another
mobo, or is the 5970 dead? (green lights turns on and all, but no image on my screen)

What has Crossfire got to do with anything?  ???

If you're trying to use Crossfire while mining, you're doing it wrong.

That i know, but the 5970 is a dualGPU card. This is why i might think that`s the problem here.
