ATI CrossFreX TM (Mult-GPU) Technology
ATI CrossFreX TM s the ultmate mult-GPU performance gamng platform. Enablng
game-domnatng power, ATI CrossFreX TM technology enables two or more dscrete
graphcs processors to work together to mprove system performance. ATI CrossF-
reX TM technology allows you to expand your system’s graphcs capabltes. It allows you
the ablty to scale your system’s graphcs horsepower as you need t, supportng two or
more ATI Radeon TM HD graphcs cards, makng ths the most scalable gamng platform
ever. The motherboard can auto detect the CrossFreX TM mode by software, therefore
you don’t have to enable the CrossFreX TM n BIOS by yourself. The followng detals the
2-way CrossFreX TM nstallaton.
Install one ATI Radeon TM HD graphcs card n the first PCIE x16 (PCI_E1) slot , then
nstall one ATI Radeon TM HD graphcs card n the thrd PCIE x16 (PCI_E4) slot.
Wth two cards nstalled, an CrossFreXTM Vdeo Lnk cable s requred to connect
the golden fingers on the top of these two graphcs cards (refer to the pcture be-
low). Please note that although you have nstalled two or more graphcs cards, only
the vdeo outputs on the graphcs card nstalled n PCI_E1 wll work. Hence, you
only need to connect a montor to ths graphcs card.
