1. If a customer incorrectly configures their system they will not see the
performance benefits of CrossFire TM . All three CrossFire TM components, a
CrossFire TM Ready graphics card, a CrossFire TM Ready motherboard and a
CrossFire TM Edition co-processor graphics card, must be installed correctly to
benefit from the CrossFire
TM
multi-GPU platform.
2. If you pair a 12-pipe CrossFire
TM
Edition card with a 16-pipe card, both cards will
operate as 12-pipe cards while in CrossFire TM mode.

Different CrossFire TM cards may require different methods to enable CrossFire TM
feature. In below procedures, we use Radeon 2600XT as the example graphics card.
For other CrossFire
TM
cards that ATI
TM
has released or will release in the future, please
refer to ATI
TM
graphics card manuals for detailed installation guide.
What graphics cards work with CrossFire TM ?
A complete CrossFire
TM
system requires a CrossFire
TM
Ready motherboard, a
CrossFire TM Edition graphics card and a compatible standard Radeon (CrossFire TM
Ready) graphics card from the same series, or two CrossFire TM Ready cards. This
applies to cards from ATI TM or any of its partners. Please refer to below table for
CrossFire
TM
VGA card support list according to the OS you install.
