Hey all,
I finally managed to get hold of two cheap HD 5870 1GB Dell graphics cards for my R1 and its been a good upgrade as they both work perfectly in crossfire.
After finally working out that you MUST install the drivers from the Dell website under the R2 model for crossfire to be enabled and then install the latest drivers over the top of these.
Also, we should upgrade the vbios from the Dell website for these cards.
Managing to play everything that is recent at a good level.
Got a GTX 580m that I got with a barebones M17X R2 on the cheap so going to have a play around and see if that will boot in the R1
