    question about crossfire on P67A-UD4 B3 REV. 1.1

    hi, i am considering getting a second 6950 to run in crossfire. this will be the first time i have attempted something like this. if i understand the manual correctly all i need to do is install the second video card in the second 8x slot, hook the cable to both cards and start computer up. is there nothing i need to change in bios? i have first slot set at 16x, will i need to change that to 8x with 2 cards in system?

    Nope should just as straight forward as that. The only issue I had was I had to uninstall all display drivers reboot into safemode and run driversweeper to remove all traces of the driver. Shut down add second gpu and add xfire connector. Boot the system and install drives. After another reboot select crossfire and good to go. But that was with a 5850 and a 5830.

      i wonder if it would be best to just do a new install and start fresh?

        As far as the whole operating system? no not needed. Just proper uninstall of the display drivers is all that is needed. Now if it has been awhile since your last install then sure why not

        But no its not needed for this.
