    Hi

    I have Inter Core Duo 2 E8400, motherboard MSI P45 Platinum/Zilent (MS-7512), 2 of Ati Radeon HD4870 512mb GDDR5

    and here's my ultimate question: i cant get my crossfire work! :( i have all parts that support it, but when i enable crossfire then there comes a window that says it doesnt support VGA and it should support it!!

    can someone help?

    blue connector is your vga cable hence why window that says it doesnt support VGA. try the other cable & see what happens.

    Go to ATI's website and download Catalyst 9.5, the newest graphics driver. Then try again.
