2What motherboards support CrossFire™?
Motherboards from other manufactures will be certified as CrossFire™
Ready when they become available. For a comprehensive list of
qualified motherboards, please consult the CrossFire™ Web site at:

3Are there specific CMOS motherboard settings for CrossFire™?
On some motherboards, the CMOS may be set by default to support only
a single PCI Express® x16 slot. Ensure that both PCIe™ x16 slots are
enabled in the CMOS.
4Are there any software settings required for a Radeon® X1950 Pro
CrossFire™ to work?
When all of the hardware and software has been properly set up and
installed, you can access the CrossFire™ aspect in Catalyst™ Control
Center:
To access and enable CrossFire™ in Catalyst™ Control Center, do the
following:
• In Advanced View, click CrossFire™ and check the Enable
CrossFire™ box.
When CrossFire™ is successfully enabled, all display devices except the
one used by CrossFire™ will be disabled. Multiple monitors/displays
that are disabled when CrossFire™ is enabled reappear after CrossFire™
is disabled.
If you installed your Radeon® X1950 Pro cards in the primary and
secondary PCIe™ slots and enabled CrossFire™, when you restart your
computer CrossFire™ will automatically be enabled. Otherwise, you
must again enable CrossFire™ upon restart.
Note: In order to enable CrossFire™, the two Radeon® X1950 Pro cards
must be connected together using two CrossFire™ Bridge Interconnects.
