ATI CrossFireX Troubleshooting

17

Clicking OK to the memory mismatch error message will restart your computer.

Note: When disabling ATI CrossFireX you will be given the option to restart your computer to restore the original graphics memory size or continue with the reduced memory size.

Card Reversal Recommended

A recommendation message to reverse the graphics card positions may appear if the master graphics card is not installed into the primary PCIe slot. Although ATI CrossFireX can be enabled, performance may be improved by reversing the graphics cards in the computer.

See your motherboard’s manual to determine which is the primary PCIe slot.

Close all open 3D applications, games, and movie player applications, and then enable ATI CrossFireX.
