Triple or Quadruple gaming power with AMD CrossFireX Multi-GPU technology. AMD CrossFireX technology supports up to four graphics cards to be used in a single system. -
AMD HD3D technology
Enjoy the most immersive experience possible with full support for high definition stereoscopic 3D, a technique that presents 2D images in a format that creates the illusion of three-dimensional depth when using compatible 3D displays/glasses/software. -
28 nm GCN (Graphic Core Next) architecture
The 28 nm GCN Architecture's more efficient process technology puts more transistors in less space, enabling a dramatic increase in processing power. -
PCI Express 3.0
PCI-Express 3.0 delivers double the bandwidth per lane of PCIe Gen 2 for faster GPU, maximizing the performance from your GPU when paired with the latest platforms. -
AMD Eyefinity 2.0
The next generation of AMD Eyefinity technology is here, featuring support for stereo 3D, universal bezel compensation and brand display configurations. Face it: the best just got better: The enhancements for AMD Radeon HD7000 series include: stereo 3D-multi-display stereoscopic 3D support via DisplayPort 16K x 16K maximum display group resolution-output up to 268 megapixels per GPU. -
SAPPHIRE Dual-X Cooling technology
Famous for the exclusive cooling solutions like the award winning Vapor Chamber Cooling technology - Vapor-X, SAPPHIRE's reputation for innovative excellence continues to grow with the introduction of the dual-extractor technology - Dual-X. Dual-X is a highly efficient multi-heatpipe cooler with dual fans that provide quiet and very cool operation during normal operating conditions, and superb cooling performance even under extreme load. -
DirectX 11.2
The tessellation performance on AMD Radeon R9 series is up to 2x faster than the previous generation, and Direct-compute performance is also faster to accelerate advanced post-processing, filtering, and anti-aliasing techniques. Direct X11 games has never looked this good. -
OpenGL 4.3
OpenGL 4.3 improves the GPU efficiency by improving the shader process operation and capturing GPU tessellated geometry. The process of modifying an arbitrary subset of compress texture is also simplified. The memory management in handling shaders is more efficient as well. -
Mantle
Properly enabled games will reach heights of performance by speaking the language of graphics core next architecture. -
Dolby TrueHD and DTSHD Master Audio support
Support for copy protected, high bandwidth, 7.1 channel surround sound over HDMI. Get a fully immersive, high definition audio experience with the latest Blu-ray movies. -
TriXX utility
TriXX helps users to get the optimum performance from compatible SAPPHIRE graphics cards in any application by allowing them to monitor, tune and save different settings of key parameters for the card. -
AMD PowerPlay with ZeroCore Power technology
AMD PowerPlay is a power management technology in response to the GPU loading; AMD PowerPlay automatically manages the power consumption. AMD ZeroCore Power technology allows your AMD Radeon GPU to consume virtually no power when in idle state. When used with AMD CrossFire technology, it shuts down additional GPUs when they're not in use. -
Cutting-edge Quad HD display support
The display resolution on AMD Radeon HD7000 series is quadrupled to the resolution of 4K x 2K (4096 x 2160) from the outputs of DisplayPort and HDMI. -
AMD PowerTune technology
AMD PowerTune technology is a breakthrough technology that sets an entirely direction for maximum performance at TDP. It allows the GPU to be designed with higher engine clock speeds which can be applied on the broad set of applications that have thermal headroom. In HD 7900 series, AMD PowerTune technology enables intelligent power monitoring to enable higher clock speeds and better performance in your favorite games.
