hello everyone,
I am building my first PC from scratch and trying for a low end gaming PC. I bought a barebones kit online and a hardrive (because was not included in kit) and a second graphics card. the graphics card is a XFX6570 part code HD-657X-ZDF2 which advertised crossfire X ready. so when I get them theres no "goldfingers" to connect a bridge to... I installed the catalyst software with both installed and speccy (a program for monitoring system info" comes back with crossfire X disabled. also theres supposed to be an area in catalyst to choose the cards your linking which was not there.
so I did some research and the cards apparently are not crossfire X ready like advertised, they are good for "dual graphics" which is fine because the processor is an AMD FX 4130 which has some GPU ability. so I removed one card and I am now trying to set up the dual graphics and im not sure where to begin.
Mobo = M5A97 LE R2.0 (Socket 942)
I don't have any onboard VGA or DVI connecors which leads me to believe no onboard graphics.. all of the info I have read about enabling this says to turn init graphics to onboard, and I don't have that option in bios.
any help would be appreciated
any other info needed I will gladly supply
Thanks
Russ
