ATI CrossFire™ options include multiple load-sharing modes called “supertiling”, “scissor mode” and “AFR” (alternate frame-rate). Together with a superior visual quality mode called “Super AA”, they combine for optimal quality and performance with game-conquering compatibility, whether it is based on Direct3D or OpenGL. ATI CrossFire gives you a significant advantage in any game and 3D application, even if it is processor-limited. And only ATI can bring you the incredible realism and visual quality of games that offer HDR and Super AA at the same time!

Important note - Radeon X1300, X1550, X1600 and X1650 Series graphic cards (except X1650 XT) do not require an ATI CrossFire Edition co-processor or external cable.
