2.5 CrossFireX TM and Quad CrossFireX TM Operation Guide
This motherboard supports CrossFireX TM and Quad CrossFireX TM .
CrossFireX TM technology offers the most advantageous means available
of combining multiple high performance Graphics Processing Units (GPU)
in a single PC. Combining a range of different operating modes with
intelligent software design and an innovative interconnect mechanism,
CrossFireX
TM enables the highest possible level of performance and image
quality in any 3D application. Currently CrossFireX TM feature is supported
with Windows ® XP with Service Pack 2 / Vista TM / 7 OS. Quad CrossFireX TM
feature are supported with Windows ® Vista TM / 7 OS only. Please check
AMD website for AMD CrossFireX TM driver updates.
2.5.1 Graphics Card Setup
Different CrossFireX TM cards may require different methods to enable
CrossFireX TM feature. For other CrossFireX TM cards that AMD has re-
leased or will release in the future, please refer to AMD graphics card
manuals for detailed installation guide.
Step 1. Insert one Radeon graphics card into PCIE1 slot and the other
Radeon graphics card to PCIE3 slot. Make sure that the cards are
properly seated on the slots.
1. If a customer incorrectly configures their system they will not see
the performance benefits of CrossFireX TM . All three CrossFireX TM
components, a CrossFireX TM Ready graphics card, a CrossFireX TM
Ready motherboard and a CrossFireX TM Edition co-processor
graphics card, must be installed correctly to benefit from the
CrossFireX
TM multi-GPU platform.
2. If you pair a 12-pipe CrossFireX TM Edition card with a 16-pipe card,
both cards will operate as 12-pipe cards while in CrossFireX TM
mode.
