How does Crossfire GPU work?

AMD CrossFire™ is a multi-GPU (MGPU) technology which combines the processing power of graphics cards (GPUs) with the aim to improve performance by speeding up the rendering of 3D graphics. When AMD CrossFire™ support is enabled, one GPU acts as the primary GPU whereas the additional GPUs act as secondary GPUs.

Can you Crossfire any GPU?

CrossFire can be implemented with GPU cards of the same generation, and manufacture (this is compared to Nvidia’s SLI, which generally only works if all cards have the same GPU, and brand).
