While simple in theory, because of the complexities of the drivers, DirectX versions and the games themselves, it is quite difficult in implementation. Read and enjoy.ĬrossFireX technology is really simple in theory: take two, three or four GPUs and use their power to render one game faster than you otherwise would be able.
Amd crossfirex driver#
Even in our review of the Radeon HD 3870 X2, AMD teased us with the “coming soon” insignia of 2 Teraflops of GPU computing power.īut have no fear faithful AMD fans, the CrossFireX driver is merely weeks from a public release and we were given the chance to test it out for ourselves. There have been interviews with AMD staff, the news about the upcoming RS780 chipset and hybrid graphics as well as our own revelation that CrossFireX would be working on Intel’s Skulltrail platform while NVIDIA’s 3-Way SLI would not. We have chronicled the recent news and rumors about CrossFireX and the ability to pair up several graphics boards in a single system for some time. The only problem was the future just never caught up to us. Ever since we first saw ATI graphics boards with pairs of CrossFire connectors on them we were told to expect the ability to scale with three and four cards in the future.
The idea of plugging in more than two GPUs into a multi-GPU system for AMD/ATI is actually brand new in the modern hardware era. It’s rather funny that until today, the technology behind CrossFireX was really supposed to be some kind of secret. Come in and see how much damage a pair of Radeon HD 3870 X2 graphics can do!!
