    Im trying to enable crossfireX and im reading my gigabyte manual which states that:

    set internal gfx to UMA + Sideport
    Set UMA framebuffer to 256mb
    Surroundview disable
    Display first onboard

    I did those things, opened up CCC with my onboard running and no crossfire. Also used my ati 4850.

    So am i missing something?

    If you're trying to crossfire a 4850 with your onboard, you can't do that. They won't work together.

    No you can't use it at all. It's meant to be used with a 3400, I think. Certainly not a 4850 though. You wouldn't want to anyway. Your 4850 is faster than the Hybrid crossfire would be.
