Problem Possible Solution
CrossFire™ is Not
Functioning In order for CrossFire™ to function, the CrossFire™ Bridge
Interconnects must correctly connect the CrossFire™
graphics cards.
1. Connect one end of the CrossFire™ Bridge
Interconnect to the internal VMO connection on one of
the cards.
2. Connect the other end of the CrossFire™ Bridge
Interconnect to the corresponding internal VMO
connection of the other card.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to connect the second
CrossFire™ Bridge Interconnect.
4. Connect the DVI-I connector to your monitor.
“Before
CrossFire™ can
be enabled, you
need to close the
3D application or
video playback
that is currently
running.”
You cannot enable CrossFire™ in the Catalyst™ Control
Center if a 3D application, game, or video playback, such
as a DVD movie, is running.
Close all open 3D applications, games, and movie player
applications then enable CrossFire™.

correctly attached. The CrossFire™ aspect is only
available when the two Radeon® X1950 Pro graphics
cards have been correctly installed and connected
together.
