Multiple GPU support

6.1 AMD

CrossFireX™ technology

The motherboard supports the AMD

CrossFireX™ technology that allows you to install

multi-graphics processing units (GPU) graphics cards. Follow the installation procedures in

this section.

6.1.1 Requirements

•

In Dual CrossFireX mode, you should have two identical CrossFireX-ready graphics

cards or one CrossFireX-ready dual-GPU graphics card that are AMD

certified.

•

Ensure that your graphics card driver supports the AMD CrossFireX technology.

Download the latest driver from the AMD website at www.amd.com.

•

Ensure that your power supply unit (PSU) can provide at least the minimum power

required by your system. See Chapter 1 for details.

•

We recommend that you install additional chassis fans for better thermal environment.

•

Visit the AMD Game website at

http://game.amd.com

for the latest certified graphics

card and the supported 3D application list.

6.1.2

Before you begin

For AMD CrossFireX to work properly, you have to uninstall all existing graphics card drivers

before installing AMD CrossFireX graphics cards to your system.

To uninstall existing graphics card drivers:

Close all current applications.

Go to

Control Panel > Programs and Features

Select your current graphics card driver/s.

4. Select

Uninstall

Turn off your computer.
