CrossFireX Technology will become available really soon
Written by IT News on 3:00 AM
Advanced Micro Devices' CrossfireX technology seems to be the best solution after Intel's 45-nanometer quad-core CPU. However, it is folded in a sort of veil of secrecy, because the technology exists, but It is not currently available because it is not yet covered by the driver.
However, as the version 8.3 of ATI Catalyst driver package moves, the more details about the technology CrossFireX flee, lovers of pleasure. The photo is, as you would have expected: the four GPUs, which can be mixed, in some strange kind of "GPU salad." Of course, there is a disadvantage, but we discuss the bad things further down in this article.
CorssFireX will be very soon, in March, that the minors on the version of Catalyst shows (part 03). Today is an important date for AMD's Graphics Division, as the version of the driver package 8.02 launched. It is the last distribution, which will come without a quad-GPU support. Moreover, the availability of March falls strangely with the next CeBIT.
The new technology allows users, 2, 3 and 4 GPU links to right on the level of graphics. The most important part is the fact that all the graphics processors are the same as in the dual-channel memory configurations. But the fastest GPU of the transmitter frequency of the lowest CrossFireX GPU in the configuration, but a speed of the memory. Anyway, wait a few salvos SFP, given the fact that the second card will be forced to wait, from time to time due to the diversity of remembrance, but it is not so disturbing that may seem.
One of the main target groups R680/3870X2 double taxation of the chip. Yes, the dual chip card allows the user to mix in other GPU setup CrossFireX, taking into account the fact that the system detects the card X2 as 2x 3870 graphics cards. Add another 3870 GPU, and you have a triple-3870 link to work three times, the hours of a single GPU 3870th
The bad news is that if you use Windows XP, you can check the X-wave technology Crossfire. AMD has CrossFireX zero, in order to the Windows XP, but it is not sure that XP is its gradual.
