@@Jaindike True, there was a frankenstein like driver package available before to trick your pc thinking the card was dx 11 , which worked for some games, however it seems the website no longer exist.

"ATi's last dual GPU card" ATi HD 5970 was their last ATi branded multi-gpu card, even has dx11 support too so it can launch alot more modern games, cs2 runs with crossfire on it with afr compatible settings even. great vid!

At the time I got crazy deals in semi-new hardware among the Portuguese benching community, they would use and review them for about a month or 2 and then sell them at half the price, so for a couple of years I had top-tier hardware on the cheap. 1st I got the 3870x2 and after the 4870x2, but the huge leap in performance I had was when I upgraded to the beautiful 5870 (single GPU) afterwards, it almost doubled the performance. It I ended up in a Mac Pro, just PuP.

there's nothing wrong with your card. its fine and fully working i have a few of these cards in my collection. dual gpu crossfire games are touch and go and take very good care of this card there getting rare and expensive to get hold of now.🙂😜 i nearly have every dual gpu graphics card that ever came out. im only missing a few models in my collection and will be making videos about them in the future.

back when i had a crossfire setup with 6850's i had to ensure that the game profile was loaded in Catalyst control center and also be in full screen mode (not borderless window or anything else). some games were specific to the driver since the driver would introduce a profile for that specific game.

Crossfire not working might need you to enable a crossfire profile after adding the game in to the drivers, like a game profile that uses x or y settings when launched. Or renaming it to another game that has the same game engine for crossfire to work, only messed with it briefly myself with a pair of hd 5770's but i read that's sometimes needed for it to run better.

SLI / CrossFire died to pave way for temporal based technologies such as TAA, TAAU, and later DLSS and FSR 2.0+. The GPU needs data from the previous frame to 'reconstruct' the current frame but with multi-GPU setups, that data is on the other GPU... which poses a problem, to say the least! Anyhow, the best way to get rid of fan noise on these old GPUs is to take off their fan shroud and use 2 x 120mm fans mounted on a GPU cooling bracket which you can easily find on ebay, Amazon, etc for around $5-10.
