ATI Hybrid CrossFireX™ Technology Question

ATI Hybrid CrossFireX™ Technology

Based on ATI CrossFireX™ multi-GPU technology, ATI Hybrid CrossFireX™ takes your gaming experience to the next level boosting PC performance. ATI Hybrid CrossFireX™ is one of the technology features included under the ATI Hybrid Graphics technology umbrella brand. It brings multi-GPU performance capabilities by enabling an AMD 780 integrated graphics processor and a discrete graphics processor to operate simultaneously with combined output to a single display for blisteringly-fast frame rates. Unleash the graphics performance that you’ve been waiting for on a mainstream Windows Vista® PC!

How Does ATI Hybrid CrossFireX™ Work?

ATI Hybrid Graphics technology enables a discrete graphics processor and an integrated graphics processor to render simultaneously in ATI Hybrid CrossFireX™ mode, in Windows Vista® to help provide a significant performance boost to AMD-based systems

so my questions is: when i using ATI Hybrid CrossFireX which DVI port do i plug in?

mainboard or graphic card for supporting ATI Hybrid CrossFireX????

if i had to guess, im about 90% on the main ati card, its probably a ccc option that enables hybrid

Mussels · Apr 12, 2009

no. you connect to the IGP on the mainboard.

I've crossfired a radeon 3450 with my 3200IGP, and i had to be connected to the mainboards IGP to recognise as crossfire capable.

I dont know if you can crossfire higher end cards with it, but i know the 3450 crossfire didnt improve performance very much at all.

hmm.. anyone can give a 100% answer correct?

If you're planning on using it with your curremt motherboard and graphics card, then I'm pretty sure it wont work, unless your P45 motherboard somehow has an ATI 3200 IGP in it.

from his sig

Daddy HTPC setup ^^
BioStarTA790GX3/AMD 7750BE DualCore@3.2Ghz/4Gb/WD250/Win7Build7057 32bitsHTPC

maybe that system supports it.

yes biostar support it..

as stated on here it only works with video cards with the same GPU core. The page itself says "enabling the AMD Chipset's integrated graphics processor and a discrete GPU (ATI Radeon™ HD 2400 Series ATI Radeon™ HD 3400 Series) to operate simultaneously"

as i found in testing, even crossfiring with an onboard... the cards are still pathetically slow.

Hybrid Crossfire ONLY works with the 2 cards Mussels mentioned, kind of annoying really.

Best result for Hybrid CFX is the very rare 3470.

Go single card.

You can get better speed with fanless 4350 for a htpc.
