CrossFire™

Requirements

To implement an ATI CrossFireX™ configuration

using the ATI Radeon™ HD 3800 Series, requires:

• An ATI CrossFireX™ certified motherboard with

two (2) PCI Express® x16 slots and correct PCIe™

chipset driver.

• A second ATI Radeon™ HD 3800 Series graphics

card.

• One ATI CrossFireX™ internal bridge interconnects.

• A specialized PCI Express® 550 watt or greater

power supply. Consult your computer system manual

to ensure the power supply is designed to

accommodate a high-end graphics card with a peak

dissipation above 150 watts.

Connections

The following illustrates the connections on the ATI Radeon™ HD 3800

Series graphics card.

2. S-Video Connection

3. DVI-I Dual Link (HDMI™-compatible)

Chapter 1: Introduction

1.2 Performance

The ATI Radeon™ HD 3800 series is a graphics accelerator card.

Computer functions like disk access and numerical calculation are not

accelerated by the ATI Radeon™ HD 3800 series. It is not unusual to

obtain an overall system speed increase of 2 times for graphics-heavy

applications after installing the ATI Radeon™ HD 3800 series. The

speed of pure graphics operations, like dragging objects with a mouse,

scrolling, and resizing, will be remarkably improved.

1.3 Software Compatibility

The key function of the ATI Radeon™ HD 3800 series is its VGA

compatibility. Unlike coprocessor-based, or IBM®8514A-type display

cards, the ATI Radeon™ HD 3800 series is 100% compatible with your

DOS computer. This means that all DOS software will run correctly with

the ATI Radeon™ HD 3800 series VGA without modification.

The VGA compatibility includes backward compatibility with the EGA,

CGA and MDA standards. All DOS software will include drivers for at

least one of these display types and will be fully compatible with the ATI

Radeon™ HD 3800 series. The ATI Radeon™ HD 3800 series is also

fully compatible with VESA BIOS extensions for resolutions higher than

640x480.

When the ATI Radeon™ HD 3800 series is used in VGA, backward

compatibility, the graphics engine of the ATI Radeon™ HD 3800 series

card is not used. The speed in these modes will be comparable to the

fastest type of standard VGA card.

ATI Radeon™ HD 3800 Series User Manual

1.4 Monitor Compatibility

The ATI Radeon™ HD 3800 series will work with any VGA, Super

VGA or Multisync monitor.

Super VGA monitors can support IBM® standard VGA plus the 800x600

extended mode used by most VGA cards, and the 1024x768 interlaced

mode used by most VGA cards and the IBM® 8514A.

Multisync monitors are more expensive and will work at all Super VGA

resolutions plus additional higher resolutions or refresh rates. The most

useful multisync monitor specification for determining maximum

resolution and refresh capability is the horizontal frequency range. For PC

use, the lower limit of the range must be no less than 30KHz. The upper

limit is usually 48K Hz, 57K Hz or 64K Hz. These correspond to a

maximum resolution of 1024 x 768, 60 Hz refresh, 1024 x768, 72 Hz

refresh rate; and 1280x1024, 60 Hz refresh rate, respectively.

By default, the ATI Radeon™ HD 3800 series will drive your monitor at

a screen refresh rate of 60 Hz. In other words, it repaints the screen 60

times per second. If the screen is not displayed properly when you boot

your system, your monitor may not support the refresh rate for the

resolution chosen. In this case, you must either lower the resolution to one

that can be supported at 60Hz or lower the refresh rate. The maximum

refresh rate supported by your monitor is specified with the Refresh Rate

utility.

Refer to your manual for information on the monitor’s capabilities. If you

are not sure what refresh rate is supported, you can always try a higher

rate. If the screen looks good, the rate is supported (and will be easier on

your eyes).
