ATI CrossFire to support Intel 955X chipsets

**MIG-31** · Jul 22, 2005, 09:30 PM

ATI Technologies has released CrossFire-compatible dual graphics card drivers to support Intel 955X chipsets, according to sources at motherboard makers. Products supporting ATI’s dual-card graphics solution, including motherboards with CrossFire-enabled 955X chipsets, are scheduled to hit the market in August, noted the makers.

First-tier motherboard makers Asustek Computer and Gigabyte Technology, as well as Intel, are gearing up to introduce new motherboards incorporating a CrossFire-enabled 955x chipset, company sources indicated.

Asustek and Gigabyte declined to comment on the report.

In addition, ATI will introduce two chipsets supporting its dual-card graphics solution, the RD400 for the Intel platform and the RD480 for the AMD edition, motherboard makers indicated.

In related news, motherboard makers have felt rising demand for under-US$60 motherboards, which already account for more than 60% of the market. In contrast, the high-end segment with unit prices of more than US$75 accounts for about 20%, the makers hinted.
