2.1.1. How to enable the AMD CrossFireX™ technology?
•CrossFireX™ Configuration
If you are planning on using this graphics card as part of a CrossFireX system, the following is required:
- A CrossFireX certified motherboard with two PCI Express x16 slots and correct chipset driver
- One or two CrossFire bridge interconnect cables
Step 1:
Install two CrossFireX graphics cards of the same chipset on a CrossFireX-supported motherboard and connect the graphics cards via two CrossFire bridge interconnect cables (Figure 1). Then users can enable the CrossFireX technology through the graphics card driver.

text_image
Two CrossFire bridge interconnect cables. Two CrossFire graphics cards of the same type. (Example: GV-RX195P256D-RH)Figure 1
Step 2:
After installing graphics card driver in operating system, when an AMD CrossFireX configuration is detected for the first time by the AMD Catalyst display driver, AMDCrossFireX support is automatically enabled, and the best possible GPU combination is selected based on the hardware configuration. If AMD CrossFireX is not enabled, access the AMD Catalyst Control Center (please refer to Page 14). From the AMD Catalyst Control Center, enter the CrossFire menu and assure to select the Enable CrossFireX™ check box (Figure 2).

AMD Graphics Accelerator support HDMI output which can handle both audio and video signals. However, audio output from the onboard audio controller or the external sound card will be disabled when HDMI output is activated.
If no need for HDMI output function, set the onboard audio controller or the external sound card to be the default Sound Playback device to obtain audio output from your system.

Expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you work on your computer.
- Turn off your computer and unplug power supply.
- Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as the power supply case.
- Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the components whenever the components are separated from the system.
The card contains sensitive electric components, which can be easily damaged by static electricity, so the card should be left in its original packing until it is installed.
Unpacking and installation should be done on a grounded anti-static mat. The operator should be wearing an anti-static wristband, grounded at the same point as the anti-static mat.
Inspect the card carton for obvious damage. Shipping and handling may cause damage to your card. Be sure there are no shipping and handling damages on the card before proceeding.

DO NOT APPLY POWER TO YOUR SYSTEM IF THE GRAPHICS CARD IS DAMAGED.

In order to ensure that your graphics card can work correctly, please use official GIGABYTE BIOS only. Using non-official GIGABYTE BIOS might cause problem(s) on the graphics card.
3. Software Installation
Notice the following guidelines before installing the drivers:
- First make sure your system has installed DirectX 9 or later version.
- Make sure your system has installed the appropriate motherboard drivers (for the motherboard drivers, please contact the motherboard manufacturer.)
3.1. Driver and Utility Installation

The Standard Settings page provides access to a universal slider control where you can simultaneously adjust all of the standard 3D settings for any type of 3D application. The slider enables you to adjust for overall system performance, overall 3D image quality, or a balance between the two. This page is useful when you are not aware of which type of 3D settings your application uses, or when you want to use an overall adjustment control that rapidly configures your application.
Anti-Aliasing
Anti-Aliasing (AA) is a rendering technique designed to remove jagged edges, shimmering, and pixelation problems that are common in rendered 3D images. Rather than determining the color to display for each pixel by sampling a single location at the pixel's center, anti-aliasing samples multiple locations within each pixel and blends the results together to produce the final color.
Anti-Aliasing can be set to favor either system processing performance or image quality, or the application can decide:
- Setting for performance is best used when the 3D image is animated and smooth motion is the most important consideration.
- Setting for quality is best used when highly detailed and realistic 3D objects is the most important consideration.
- If you are unsure of how to configure anti-aliasing, use the Use application settings option. Your display will automatically adjust to the application's requirements.
■ Adaptive Anti-Aliasing
Adaptive anti-aliasing is a technique that applies a combination of multi-sampling (MSAA) and super-sampling (SSAA) on 3D objects to improve edge smoothness and fine detail.
This feature renders 3D objects containing transparencies more realistic, providing exceptional levels of image quality while maintaining performance.

Anisotropic Filtering is a technique that preserves detail on surfaces that have three-dimensional perspective and fade away into the background. It works best when used in conjunction with Mipmapping. Anisotropic Filtering can be set to favor either an increase in system processing performance or improved image quality:
- Setting for performance is best used with applications that display objects with smooth, simple surfaces, like those seen in CAD applications.
- Setting for quality is best used with applications that display highly detailed scenes, backgrounds, and textured objects, like those seen in 3D games.
- If you are unsure how to configure anisotropic filtering, use the Use application settings option. Your display will automatically adjust to the application's requirements.
