Introduction

ATI

®

 CrossFireX

TM

 technology takes advantage of the increased bandwidth of the PCI 

Express

TM

 bus architecture, and features intelligent hardware and software solutions to 

deliver earth-shattering PC performance in a multi ATI® GPU solution. It allows up to 

four identical PCI Express

TM

 x16 graphics cards.

The CrossFireX

TM

 requires the following components to be available in order to appear 

as an option within Catalyst

TM

 Control Center :

■  

CrossFireX

TM

 Ready motherboard, such as Foxconn’s Bloodrage.

■  

2, 3 or 4 CrossFireX

TM

 graphics cards

For the detailed CrossFireX

TM

 Graphic Card support list on this motherboard, please 

visit the website: http://www.foxconnchannel.com

Using CrossfireX

TM

 Technology

1. Please uninstall any existing graphics card drivers which would possibly create a

  conflict before attempting to install this display card.

2. Install the first Radeon CrossFireX

TM

 graphics card to PCI-E1_16X slot.

3. Install the second Radeon CrossFireX

TM

 graphics card to PCI-E2_16X slot.

4. If you wish to use 3 graphics cards we recommend using the lower 2 PCIE 16x slots 

to keep the first card running at 16x lanes while the second and third will run at 8x 

each.

5. Align and firmly insert the CrossFire bridge onto t

he edge connector of each graphics card.  

   Make sure that the bridge is firmly in place.
