This motherboard supports CrossFire TM feature. CrossFire TM technology offers the
most advantageous means available of combining multiple high performance Graphics
Processing Units (GPU) in a single PC. Combining a range of different operating
modes with intelligent software design and an innovative interconnect mechanism,
CrossFire TM enables the highest possible level of performance and image quality in
any 3D application. Currently CrossFire TM feature is only supported with Windows ®
XP with Service Pack 2; it may be supported with other OS in the future, such as
Windows
®
Vista
TM
. Please check ATI
TM
website for driver updates.
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.

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 if they are software enabled. This applies to cards from ATI TM or
any of its partners.
Currently, ATI
TM
has released Radeon X850XT, X1800XT, X1900XT, X1950XT,
X1300, and X1600 CrossFire
TM
cards, which require different methods to
enable CrossFire
TM
feature. In the below procedures, we use Radeon
X850XT 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.
