![]() Will go benchmark L4D2 with the settings that previously got me 80 FPS and see what I get! GPU-Z says CrossfireX is enabled, but now time for the true test. It should find and install the driver.ġ2) As cnoffsin said, restart and CrossfireX should be available now!ġ3) Now you can go in and do Update Driver Software again, but just let Windows search for and install the driver, which will install your original driver, but when you reboot CrossfireX will still be available. Now go to Device Manager -> Click Display adapters -> Action -> Scan for hardware changesĩ) It should show your new device under something like "Video devices" and it should try to install drivers and failġ0) Go back to the Policy Editor and revert the change you made to the policy so that you can manually install the driver.ġ0) Right-click on the device and go to Update Driver Softwareġ1) Select Browse local computer and find where the Dell drivers were unpackaged. So for anyone who also has Windows 7, and is curious as to how I got around my issue in the previous post, here goes:ġ) Uninstall your secondary card in Device Manager (one that you don't have your monitor plugged into)Ģ) Windows button -> Search for gpedit.mscģ) On the left side go to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Device Installation -> Device Installation RestrictionsĤ) Find "Prevent installation of devices not described by other policy settings"Ĩ) No, you don't have to restart even though it says you do. So maybe someone smarter than me with my system as a petree dish would like to tell me how i could make this into some sort of hacked catalyst driver that would work on other nvidia boards.ĭude, you freakin' rock! Thank you so so so so much!!Īlso, who knew Dell would be the solution to all my problems? i was going to see if maybe now for some reason i would be able to run 2 5750s now. i have the latest nforce drivers so that isn't limiting it. ![]() i heard also dell refuses to release a 64 bit version of this hacked radeon driver.īut what i think i have accomplished is that contrary to what i saw a dell rep say it is NOT a bios limitation keeping crossfire off of nvidia boards. maybe i got lucky and i have a very similar set up to the xps. i have not had time to do a real benchmark yet. I have played just cause 2 in 1366x768 and it runs great. I then changed the driver back to the dna driver on that card from the 3870x2 and rebooted. When i rebooted the system the catalyst control center had crossfire now enabled! So all i did was go to device manager and force one of my cards to take the 3870x2 driver from the dell driver from their support site R190847.exe is the file. In my resarch i had heard that the dell xps 730 h2c was specially hacked to have 2 3870x2s on a 680i nvidia board. the control center still said my second adapter was disabled. installed them (with the opengl 7.11 hack enabled) now i know this is an old driver. It took some driver manipulation but no bios hacks what soever and i have the latests nforce drivers on my system. ![]() I have made my powercolor 3850s crossfire successfully on my p5n-e SLI ![]()
