AMD CrossFreX™ (Mult-GPU) Technology

AMD CrossFreX™ s a mult-GPU performance gamng platform. By lnkng together

two or more dscrete GPUs, CrossFreX™ can sgn󰘰cant mprove system graphcs per-

formance. It allows the ablty to scale a system’s graphcs power as needed, makng

t the most scalable gamng platform. Ths manboard wll automatcally detect Cross-

FreX™ technology and make changes n the BIOS as needed. Follow the nstructons

below to ensure a successful two-way CrossFreX™ nstallaton.

Install two AMD Radeon™ HD graphcs cards nto the PCI_E1 & PCI_E4 expanson

slots.

Wth the two cards nstalled, two CrossFreX™ Vdeo Lnk cable are requred to con

nect the graphcs cards. Attach one sde of the cable on each of the cards by way

of the metal contacts (please refer to the pcture below). Please note that although

two graphcs cards have been nstalled, only the dsplay ports on the graphcs card

nstalled n the 󰘰rst PCIe x16 slot wll work. All dsplays should be connected to ths

graphcs card.

cards are recommended.

Make sure to connect an adequate power supply to the power connectors on the

graphcs cards to ensure stable operaton.
