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.

• 

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.

• 

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

power required by your system. See Chapter 2 for details.

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:
