Multiple GPU support

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.

7.1

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 (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 (http://game.amd.com) for the latest certified graphics

card and the supported 3D application list.

7.2
