2.7 CrossFire

Operation Guide

This motherboard supports CrossFire

feature. CrossFire

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, CrossFire

enables the highest possible level of performance and

image quality in any 3D application. Currently CrossFire

feature is only supported

with Windows XP with Service Pack 2; it may be supported with other OS in the

future.

1. If a customer incorrectly configures their system they will not see the

performance benefits of CrossFire

. All three CrossFire

components, a

CrossFire

Ready graphics card, a CrossFire

Ready motherboard and

a CrossFire

Edition co-processor graphics card, must be installed

correctly to benefit from the CrossFire

multi-GPU platform.

2. If you pair a 12-pipe CrossFire

Edition card with a 16-pipe card, both

cards will operate as 12-pipe cards while in CrossFire

mode.

Enjoy the benefit of CrossFire

It is recommended to use 500-Watt power supply or greater

to perform the benefit of CrossFire

feature for Radeon

X850XT.

Step 1.

Connect to the system power supply. Please connect a hard disk power

connector to SLI/XFIRE Power connector.

What graphics cards work with CrossFire

A complete CrossFire

system requires a CrossFire

Ready motherboard,

a CrossFire

Edition graphics card and a compatible standard Radeon

(CrossFire

Ready) graphics card from the same series, or two CrossFire

Ready cards if they are software enabled. This applies to cards from ATI or

any of its partners.

Currently, ATI has released Radeon X850XT, X1800XT, X1300, and X1600

CrossFire

cards, which require different methods to enable CrossFire

feature. In the below procedures, we use Radeon X850XT as the example

graphics card. For other CrossFire

cards that ATI has released or will

release in the future, please refer to ATI graphics card manuals for detailed

installation guide.
