4.3 Enabling and Configuring AMD CrossFire™
Once all your graphics cards are properly installed, you can begin enabling and
configuring AMD CrossFire technology support using the
AMD Catalyst™ Control Center software application, which is a component of the
AMD Catalyst software engine that can be downloaded from the Drivers and Support
page at http://support.amd.com .
AMD CrossFire settings can be found on the AMD CrossFire page, which is located
under the Gaming and Performance groups in both the Standard and Advanced views
in AMD Catalyst Control Center.
When AMD CrossFire is enabled, the graphics processor in one of the cards acts as the
primary processor; this card is known as the primary card. Graphics-rendering tasks
are shared between all available processors to accelerate displays that are connected
to the primary card. By default, displays that are connected to other graphics cards
are disabled.
Use AMD Catalyst Control Center to change your display setup and AMD CrossFire
settings as needed. For more information, see the context-sensitive help system that
comes with the application.
