Troubleshooting AMD CrossFireX™
The following are suggested solutions for common AMD 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.
For more information see the AMD CrossFireX Web page at
sites.amd.com/us/game/
technology/Pages/crossfirex.aspx .
Use Graphics Cards with Different Amounts of Memory
In some AMD CrossFireX configurations, graphics cards with different amounts of
memory can by used; however, restarting your computer is required after enabling
AMD CrossFireX. This will cause AMD 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.
Note: When disabling AMD CrossFireX you will be given the option to restart your
computer to restore the original graphics memory size or continue with the reduced
memory size.
Card Reversal Recommended
A recommendation message to reverse the graphics card positions may appear if the
primary graphics card is not installed into the primary PCIe slot. Although
AMD CrossFireX can be enabled, performance may be improved by reversing the
graphics cards in the computer.
See your motherboard's manual to determine which is the primary PCIe slot.
