104 CrossFire ™ Overview
Scissor Mode
In this mode, each frame is split into two sections, with each section being
processed by one GPU. The ideal configuration is determined
automatically for each application.
Although Scissor Mode is generally a less efficient means of splitting the
workload than using SuperTiling, there are a few cases where it can be
more efficient. It is supported by CrossFire
™
in order to maximize
compatibility and performance.
