5How are the graphics cards connected on a CrossFire™ system?
Two Radeon® X1950 Pro cards are connected by two CrossFire™ Bridge
Interconnects, connecting the custom DVO ports on each card together.
To see where the DVO ports are located on the Radeon® X1950 Pro
cards, see the picture of the Radeon® X1950 Pro CrossFire™
implementation.
6Which games/applications work with CrossFire™?
CrossFire™ works with all 3D games and applications. If Catalyst™ A.I.
is enabled in the Catalyst™ Control Center software, the optimal
rendering mode available for the application is automatically selected.
7Is a driver profile required to make CrossFire™ work?
No. CrossFire™ is enabled by default for all 3D games and applications.
8What are the rendering modes, and what are their specific
advantages?
The following dynamic rendering modes are available:
•SuperTiling - CrossFire™ renders alternate 32x32 pixel squares in a
fine-grained checkerboard pattern. This configuration increases
image-rendering quality, as each card processes half of the complex
3D objects in the pixel squares.
•Scissor Mode - each graphics card renders up to half of the display,
either vertically or horizontally depending on the game or application.
