Article Title: Sapphire X1600 Pro CrossFire ReviewInstalling the pair of Sapphire X1600 Pro's is straightforward. Simply insert them into the board, connect your monitor cable to one of the cards and away you go. After booting into Windows you'll need to install the Catalyst driver, or simply allow it to detect the card if this isn't a fresh install. After the card is detected you can go into the Catalyst Control Panel and enable CrossFire. After a couple of screen flashes and a few seconds of waiting you're now ready to play with CrossFire and have the ability to nearly double gaming performance in applications that are multi-GPU ready.
