Ok, so I have three 5970s in one box now and each one mines and games flawlessly whenever there's 1 or 2 cards installed. However when I go to add the 3rd card things start going south. Apparently platform 0, device 0 doesn't play well with the other kids when all three cards are installed, regardless of what card I swap into that spot. Funny thing is platform 0, device 0 works just fine when there's only one or two cards installed (it's on a PCIe 1x extension cable, but I dunno if that matters).
Has anybody ever encountered anything like this? DaT? Gigavps?
Edit: I forgot to mention I'm using a Corsair AX1200.
Final Edit: Solved by regressing the driver back to 11.12

Windows or Linux? I had MAJOR issues with Windows and going from 2 to 4 5970s. The drivers played hell and atimkag or w/e would BSOD every time I loaded up the GPUs. I had to reinstall Windows(I use Windows for testing, Linux for production) to get the rig to play nice.

Hmm that sounds like the problem I'm running into. Blue screens with atikmag or something. I'm going to keep playing with it, thanks! |

If you're running 32 bit Windows, it's likely that you're running out of address space...

I'm running 64-bit. Got a little distracted playing games with crossfired 5970s to experiment much with it right now though lol I still suck at BF3  |

I concur with not going past 11.12 drivers for triple 5970 rigs. Mine start to act funny anytime I try to upgrade drivers. 12.2, 12.3 are just garbage for them. Stick with 11.12 and they will be rock solid. This sucks for a gaming PC though, maybe set up a dedicated rig for the 3 5970s and game on a 7990?  |
