CrossFire™ Xpress
3200: Backbone of the Enthusiast PC
ATI CrossFire™ Xpress
3200 Platform Chipset is a defining milestone for the PC industry, as it
is the first to unleash true, unrestricted 2x16 PCI Express® interfaces.
Designed from the ground up for the enthusiast and professional, this advanced
CrossFire chipset pumps an unparalleled bandwidth of up to 8 GB/s to each
GPU. The result is astonishing performance with brilliant and intense 3D
graphics. This architecture increases bandwidth and dataflow and reduces
the bottleneck that occurs in other pseudo x16 solutions.
The unique, high bandwidth architecture of ATI CrossFire Xpress 3200 chipset
offers the utmost flexibility and options: from support of the fastest GPUs
to connector-free CrossFire graphics cards; from one to multiple GPUs. The
advanced semiconductor technology and supreme architecture allows for extreme
overclocking and unprecedented control of the enthusiast user over system
behavior and performance – while delivering rock-solid stability and
thermal efficiency. Indeed CrossFire Xpress 3200 is the enthusiast dream
platform.
- Performance Leader
Unrivalled bandwidth from the only true 2x16 PCI-Express
single chip, CrossFire Xpress 3200 delivers the performance promise of 2x16
PCI-e slots.
- Total of 40 lanes of PCI Express: a true information highway
- Enables
high-end graphic solutions even without a 'CrossFire Edition' GPU
- Maximum Flexibility
Start with a backbone of CrossFire Xpress 3200 chipset,
and then shape a GPU solution to an ever-moving performance target. CrossFire
Xpress 3200 allows the flexibility and freedom to always stay above the competition
- Allows for flexible modular multi-GPU solutions: start with one GPU
and when performance demands it, add a second
- Supports connector
and connector-free CrossFire graphics cards
- Build a CrossFire platform
for every need and style
- Ready for the next generation CrossFire
graphics cards
- OverDrive: Unprecedented Control
Built by ATI’s outstanding engineers and with
devotion to the enthusiast community, CrossFire Xpress 3200 offers maximum
control over system and graphics performance - with a highly tuneable architecture
and plenty of headroom for overclocking.
