For many months we've all been hearing rumors of ATI's answer to NVIDIA's SLI technology and whether if at all it would take off. Today, here in Computex 2005, the shroud has finally fallen as ATI announces their CrossFire technology, which builds upon the SLI ideology and extends that with a certain degree of flexibility. Just like NVIDIA's SLI, ATI's CrossFire combines the power of two PCIe graphics cards to work on the final output. In essence, the drivers cleverly divide the 3D application's workload to be dispatched to both graphics cards. As such, more processing is done in a shorter frame of time, which of course boost performance (or frame rates for that matter).
