2.7 CrossFireXTM Operation Guide This motherboard supports CrossFireXTM feature. CrossFireXTM 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, CrossFireXTM enables the highest possible level of performance and image quality in any 3D application. Currently CrossFireXTM feature is supported with Windows® XP with Service Pack 2 and VistaTM OS. Please check AMD website for ATITM CrossFireXTM driver updates. What graphics cards work with CrossFireXTM? A complete CrossFireXTM system requires a CrossFireXTM Ready motherboard, a CrossFireXTM Edition graphics card and a compatible standard Radeon (CrossFireXTM Ready) graphics card from the same series, or two CrossFireXTM Ready cards. This applies to cards from ATITM or any of its partners. Please refer to below table for CrossFireXTM VGA card support list according to the OS you install.

If a customer incorrectly configures their system they will not see the performance benefits of CrossFireXTM. All three CrossFireXTM components, a CrossFireXTM Ready graphics card, a CrossFireXTM Ready motherboard and a CrossFireXTM Edition co-processor graphics card, must be installed correctly to benefit from the CrossFireXTM multi-GPU platform. 2. If you pair a 12-pipe CrossFireXTM Edition card with a 16-pipe card, both cards will operate as 12-pipe cards while in CrossFireXTM mode. 20
