PC Spec as in sig. I want to use my monitor (via DVI) and TV (via DVI-HDMI converter) using my 2 5970's in crossfire. The main card is connected to my monitor via DVI, however I can not use the second DVI slot on the main (or second card) due to my externally mounted radiator covering up the connector. Can I use the secondary cards, main DVI connection to extend my desktop to my TV? I tried connecting the secondary card to my TV using a DVI-HDMI adaptor and I get no picture on my TV. I have never tried extending a desktop or the like before, so have no idea if I am missing something or if its even possible? Thanks
You can only use the outputs on the primary card while in crossfire. What I used to do was create profile shortcuts. Had one for crossfire, and one for multimonitor. Then I would just use the crossfire profile when gaming, and the other the rest of the time.
Oh, thought I'd read you could do it somewhere. My bad. Last post edited to avoid confusion. I wonder why you can do it in SLI but not CrossFire
So is there a way of using one DVI slot on the main card and one DVI slot on the second card? As I can only access and use one DVI slot per card, due to my radiator covering up the second DVI slots?
Yes, as Lysol mentioned, you can disable CrossFire in CCC when using the two outputs, then switch it back when you want to game or use CrossFire
Sorry, must have misread that. Got it working now. OMG this is so cool lol Actually really useful while trying to do work, thanks guys
