What graphics cards work with CrossFire
TM
?
A complete CrossFire
TM
system requires a CrossFire
TM
Ready motherboard,
a CrossFire
TM
Edition graphics card and a compatible standard Radeon
(CrossFire
TM
Ready) graphics card from the same series, or two CrossFire
TM
Ready cards if they are software enabled. This applies to cards from ATI
TM
or
any of its partners.

1. If a customer incorrectly configures their system they will not see the
performance benefits of CrossFire
TM
. All three CrossFire
TM
components, a
CrossFire
TM
Ready graphics card, a CrossFire
TM
Ready motherboard and a
CrossFire
TM
Edition co-processor graphics card, must be installed correctly to
benefit from the CrossFire
TM
multi-GPU platform.
2. If you pair a 12-pipe CrossFire
TM
Edition card with a 16-pipe card, both cards will
operate as 12-pipe cards while in CrossFire
TM
mode.
Currently, ATI
TM
has released Radeon X850XT, X1800XT, X1900XT, X1950XT, X1950Pro,
X1950XTX, X1300, X1650 and X1600 CrossFire
TM
cards, which require different
methods to enable CrossFire
TM
feature. In the below procedures, we use Radeon
X850XT as the example graphics card. For other CrossFire
TM
cards that ATI
TM
has
released or will release in the future, please refer to ATI
TM
graphics card manuals for
detailed installation guide.
