CrossFire: Multiply and Conquer with Multi-GPU Performance
Designed from the ground up with GPU sharing in mind, the Radeon X1600 series allows you to get incredible gaming performance by adding a Radeon X1600 Crossfire Edition graphics card for ultra fast performance that works with all games, all the time.
- Supertiling for optimized gaming performance
CrossFire’s “supertiling” GPU sharing speeds rendering by evenly dividing the graphics processing, intelligently alternating the rendering workload to each Radeon GPU for efficient load balancing, and optimized performance.
- CrossFire boosts image quality CrossFire boosts image quality along with rendering speed, eliminating the need to crank down screen resolutions to get the high image quality you want.
CrossFire ignites with the higher anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, shading, and texture settings you desire. Adjust your display configurations, experiment with your advanced 3D settings, and check the effect with a real-time 3D-rendered preview within ATI’s Catalyst Control Center to rule your CrossFire system.
- Upgradeable components and web support CrossFire supports a wide range of ATI-based graphics cards and motherboards, and offers compatibility with a broad array of third party components for a flexible and robust solution.
Upgradeable components allow you to gradually improve your system performance with the reliability and support that only ATI delivers.
Free monthly on-line Catalyst software updates, ATI’s one-click comprehensive help system, and web-based online customer support are available 24 hours per day.
