AMD Crossfire is the technology that enables you to run two GPUs simultaneously.
Lets take a look at how.
To do this, first, modernize your GPU to have the latest version of the display driver.
Then it’s possible for you to go and enable Crossfire from the Advanced prefs.
There are currently two variants of AMD drivers available for download.
They are the Radeon Adrenaline 2019 and the updated 2020 later versions.
The table below shows which GPU supports the specific version of the drivers.
you’re able to download the latest version of the GPU drivers from the AMD website.
Just put in your graphics card model, and you will get the latest software for it.
The AMD website is linked below for your ease.

The steps to enable crossfire in Adrenaline 2020 and later versions are the same.
I have provided the steps for Adrenaline 2020.
Theoretically, it should work if you have a newer driver.
To do this, go toGaming>Gamesand see if theframe pacingtoggle is on.
Set thecrossfire modeto theDefault Mode.
Now lets look at how the steps differ for older drivers.
Go through our epic guide onwhat to do with old Graphics Card.
AMD Crossfire should work for you now.
But how to know if both GPUs are used by the game?
Games that support the crossfire arrangement should use both GPUs.
What are the AMD Crossfire Supported Cards?
Almost every AMD GPU supports crossfire.
Back in the day, my friend used an HD 5850 and HD 5770 to implement Crossfire.
And it worked well for him.
But what about Crossfire now?
Radeon RX 500 cards were the last ones that arrived with Crossfire branding in the box.
After that, the Vega and RDNA GPUs did not get official support.
you might configure the newer GPUs to run together if you want.
It is basically a Direct-X 12 feature known as MGPU.

Final Words
There you go.
All the details for setting up Crossfire are laid before you.
Most modern games, unfortunately, are going towards only supporting single GPUs.
So, sooner or later, you have to switch to a more modern card.
Thats all for today.
Until next time, its goodbye.
