ATI Crossfire Multi VPU Does AFR, Super Tiling, Split Screen Rendering

May 23rd 2005 | Graphics Cards

In addition to AFR (Alternate Frame rendering) and Super Tiling, ATI’s ‘Crossfire’ Multi VPU also supports SLI style split screen rendering, writes the Inquirer:

In AFR, one card renders odd frames while the second one is rendering even frames. This is a very simple technique and we saw it before with ATI Rage Maxx cards.

Super tiling is rendering where each chip renders one tile of the whole frame. We have a picture to help you understand this better, below.

The last but not the least method is the well known split screen mode and Nvidia has used this technique for quite some time now. ATI will be able to support it as well.
