CrossFireX

feature. CrossFireX

technology offers the most advantageous

means available of combining multiple high performance Graphics Processing

Units (GPU) in a single PC. Combining a range of different operating modes with

TM

intelligent software design and an innovative interconnect mechanism, CrossFireX

enables the highest possible level of performance and image quality in any 3D
