3. Connect the remaining DVI-I connector of the

 

 

interconnect cable to your monitor.

 

 

On graphics cards with two DVI-I connectors, only one

 

 

DVI-I connector on the Slave card supports Transition

 

 

Minimized Differential Signaling (TMDS) required by

 

 

CrossFire. If CrossFiredoes not appear in the
