4.1 AMD CrossFire™ Overview

AMD CrossFire technology is designed to enhance the graphics quality and

performance of 3D games and applications by combining the processing power of two

or more AMD Radeon graphics cards, essentially creating a multi-GPU performance

gaming platform. A typical AMD CrossFire setup involves two graphics cards.
