CrossFire

Operation

The mother chart must be compatible CrossFire , the first graphics card must-being Radeon x800 or model X…. superior, the second graphics card must be a Radeon CrossFire Edition .

It is also possible to add an additional graphics card dealing only with physics (smoked, explosion,…), very useful thing for the video games. This chart is a graphics card added on the mother chart, either in second, or in third (with or without CrossFire).

Why a special chart

What follows will not be more valid in 2 months because ATI decided to universalize its technology, therefore more special chart. We will speak here about the editions going of x800 has x1900xtx. It is indeed important to specify that all the interest of this technology rests on Compositing Engine, a chip added on the chart crossfire edition and who undertakes to join together the data of the two charts. Thus, not of lose speed with a gpu slowed down by the operations of assembly. It is interesting besides to notice that the best score has 3dmark05 was carried out with a configuration in crossfire. Reliement of the two charts is carried out by a small cable using exits DVI.

Innovation

The RV570 also innovates in the direction where it is the first to use native technology CrossFire, and thus to simplify you the experiment multi-GPU Canadian firm quite simply by removing the need for a chart Master and a chart slave. To summarize, it is enough for you to acquire one second graphics card equipped with Radeon X1x50 and to connect them between them via a bridge which according to the dires of ATI will be directly delivered with all the charts available on the market.
