ATI CrossFireX Troubleshooting

Change Motherboard BIOS Settings

Some motherboards may have a system BIOS option to switch between single and dual PCIe slot support. The default setting may be single slot support. Refer to the motherboard’s manual for information to enable dual PCIe slot support.

For more information see the ATI CrossFireX Web page at ati.amd.com/ crossfire.

Use Graphics Cards with Different Amounts of Memory

In some ATI CrossFireX configurations, graphics cards with different amounts of memory can by used; however, restarting your computer is required after enabling ATI CrossFireX. This will cause ATI CrossFireX to reduce the amount of memory on the card with the most amount of memory to match the memory size of the graphics card with the least amount of memory.
