A CrossFire™ graphics card works with all members of the same brand-family. For example: A Radeon® X1800 CrossFire™ Edition will work with a Radeon® X1800 CrossFire™ Ready graphics card.

3What motherboards support CrossFire™?

The optimal configuration for a CrossFire™ system is one based on a Radeon® Xpress 200 CrossFire™ Edition motherboard. Motherboards from other manufactures will be certified as CrossFire™ Ready when they become available.

4Are there specific BIOS motherboard settings for CrossFire™?

On some motherboards, the BIOS may be set by default to support only a single PCI Express® X16 slot. Ensure that both PCIe™ X16 slots are enabled in the BIOS.

For information on configuring your BIOS settings consult the manual that came with your motherboard.
