ATI CrossFireX
TM
(Multi-GPU) Technology
ATI CrossFireX
TM
is the ultimate multi-GPU performance gaming platform. Enabling
game-dominating power, ATI CrossFireX
TM
technology enables two or more discrete
graphics processors to work together to improve system performance. ATI CrossFi-
reX
TM
technology allows you to expand your system’s graphics capabilities. It allows you
the ability to scale your system’s graphics horsepower as you need it, supporting two or
more ATI Radeon
TM
HD graphics cards, making this the most scalable gaming platform
ever. The motherboard can auto detect the CrossFireX
TM
mode by software, therefore
you don’t have to enable the CrossFireX
TM
in BIOS by yourself. The following details the
2-way CrossFireX
TM
installation.
Install two ATI Radeon
TM
HD graphics cards into the PCI_E2 & PCI_E5 slots.
With two cards installed, an CrossFireX
TM
Video Link cable is required to connect
the golden ngers on the top of these two graphics cards (refer to the picture be-
low). Please note that although you have installed two or more graphics cards,
only the video outputs on the graphics card installed in rst PCIE x16 slot will work.
Hence, you only need to connect a monitor to this graphics card.

Important
If you intend to install TWO graphics cards for CrossFireX
TM
mode, make sure that:
a. these two graphics cards are of the same brand and specications;
b. these two cards are installed on both PCIE x16 slots (PCI_E2 & PCI_E5) that sup-
port up to PCIE x16 speed.
Make sure that you connect an adequate power supply to the JPWR4 connector
(or to the power connector on the graphics card) to ensure stable operation of the
graphics card.
