Troubleshooting ATI CrossFireX
The following are suggested solutions for common ATI CrossFireX
troubleshooting issues.
Change Motherboard BIOS Settings
Some motherboards may have a system BIOS option to switch between single
and dual PCIe slot support. The default setting may be single slot support. Refer
to the motherboard’s manual for information to enable dual PCIe slot support.

Use Graphics Cards with Different Amounts of Memory
In some ATI CrossFireX configurations, graphics cards with different amounts of
memory can by used; however, restarting your computer is required after
enabling ATI CrossFireX. This will cause ATI CrossFireX to reduce the amount of
memory on the card with the most amount of memory to match the memory size
of the graphics card with the least amount of memory.
Clicking
OK
to the memory mismatch error message will restart your computer.
