How It Works

 
 

ATI’s CrossFire™ is the ultimate multi-GPU performance gaming platform. Build your PC with an ATI CrossFire Certified motherboard then plug in two compatible ATI CrossFire Certified graphics cards. A motherboard designed with an ATI CrossFire Xpress chipset offers maximum performance.

Important note - There are now three ways to connect CrossFire ready graphics cards.  Refer to the color coding below to ensure the optimal card configuration and the correct connection type.  In most configurations, only high-performance cards require the external CrossFire connector.  However, the new Radeon X1950 PRO is the first card to use the new internal CrossFire Interconnect physical connector.  Always ensure you use ATI Catalyst™ Control Center software to enable CrossFire and command your ultimate gaming experience!

ATI CrossFire™ options include multiple load-sharing modes called “supertiling”, “scissor mode” and “AFR” (alternate frame-rate). Together with a superior visual quality mode called “Super AA”, they combine for optimal quality and performance with game-conquering compatibility, whether it is based on Direct3D or OpenGL. ATI CrossFire gives you a significant advantage in any game and 3D application, even if it is processor-limited. And only ATI can bring you the incredible realism and visual quality of games that offer HDR and Super AA at the same time!
