AMD CrossFire™ Technology

Note: These features are only available for AMD Radeon™ HD 7850/7870 graphics

cards with AMD CrossFire™ connections.

5.1 AMD CrossFire™ Overview

AMD CrossFire is a multi-GPU (graphics processing unit) performance gaming

platform. It enables multiple graphics processors installed in a single computer to

work together to improve system performance, creating a high-performance gaming

platform. A typical AMD CrossFire setup involves two graphics cards.

Once your graphics cards have been installed, you can enable and configure

AMD CrossFire support using the Control Center software application. For more

information, see the AMD CrossFire technology Web page at sites.amd.com/us/game/

technology/Pages/crossfirex.aspx.

5.2 Installing AMD CrossFire™ Graphics Cards

These instructions assume that a PCIe® graphics card has already been successfully

installed in the secondary slot (slot one), and that the primary slot (slot zero) is empty.

Note: Consult your system builder or OEM to ensure that your system has an

adequate power supply.

For an up-to-date listing of AMD CrossFire certified motherboards and power

supplies, see support.amd.com/us/certified/Pages/certified-components.aspx.

1. Make sure the computer, monitor, and other peripheral devices are off.

2. Unplug the computer power cord and disconnect the monitor cable from the

back panel of the computer.

Caution:

To avoid possible damage to the motherboard, wait approximately 20 seconds

after unplugging the power cord before disconnecting a peripheral or

removing a component from the motherboard.

3. Remove the computer cover.

If necessary, consult the computer manual for help removing the cover.
