Step 3.

Plug the display cable into your card; then turn on the computer and monitor. To connect a flat panel

display to your graphics card, use the DVI-I connector. To connect an HDMI monitor to your graphics

card, use the HDMI connector. To connect a DisplayPort monitor to your graphics card, use the

DisplayPort connector.

You are now ready to proceed with the installation of the graphics card driver. Please refer to next

2.1.1. How to enable the AMD CrossFireXTM technology?

•CrossFireXTM 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.

Two CrossFire bridge

interconnect cables. TwoCrossFiregraphics cardsofthe 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

CrossFireXTM check box (Figure 2).

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.

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.
