ATI Eyefinity
ATI Eyefinity technology maximizes your field of view across up to three displays, fully engaging your peripheral vision. For gamers this puts you right IN the game and for other applications it helps to increase productivity by maximizing your visual workspace so that you can see more windows simultaneously. ATI Eyefinity technology is also ideal for multimedia applications as it allows you to keep several 'palettes' or 'panels' open over a larger workspace whist you edit your images or videos. -
Advanced GDDR5 memory technology
GDDR5 memory provides twice the bandwidth per pin of GDDR3 memory, delivering more speed and higher bandwidth. -
40nm process technology
Cutting edge manufacturing process allows for efficient, high performance parts which use less power than their predecessors. -
ATI CrossFireX Multi-GPU technology
Triple or Quadruple gaming power withATI CrossFireX Multi-GPU technology. ATI CrossFireX technology supports up to four graphics cards to be used in a single system. -
PCI-Express 2.0
The PCI-Express 2.0 specification doubles data throughput from 2.5Gbps to 5Gbps allowing you to exploit the full performance potential of your graphics card. -
AMD HD3D technology
Enjoy the most immersive experience possible with full support for High Definition Stereoscopic 3D, a technique that presents 2D images (movies, games, photos) in a format that creates the illusion of three-dimensional depth when using compatible 3D displays/glasses/software. -
Dual-link DVI
Equipped with the most popular Dual Link DVI (Digital Visual Interface), this card is able to display ultra high resolutions of up to 2560 x 1600 at 60Hz. -
Mini-DisplayPort
Enjoy the benefits of the latest generation display interface, DisplayPort. With the ultra high HD resolution of 2560 x 1600 the graphics card ensures that you are able to support the LCD monitors. -
DisplayPort 1.2
Doubling the effective bandwidth of previous DisplayPort implementations, DisplayPort 1.2 now includes support for Multi-Stream, allowing you to drive up to four separate monitors from a single DisplayPort 1.2 connector, Stereoscopic 3D monitor support and adds support for high quality, lossless, 7.1 channel audio formats. -
Microsoft DirectX 11
Get intense gaming performance and unrivaled image quality with stunning 3D visual effects, realistic lighting and lifelike imagery with SAPPHIRE graphics cards supporting DirectX 11. New features in DirectX 11 such as Hardware Tesselation, HDR Texture Compression, Multi-threading support and DirectCompute bring lifelike gaming and an experience never possible on a PC before. -
OpenGL 3.1 and 3.2
Supports the OpenGL API (Application Programming Interface) to accelerate performance of applications outside of DirectX, i.e. Adobe Autodesk 2D/3D graphic design. -
Shader Model 5.0
Supports the latest Shader Model 5.0 feature set including VTF (Vertex Texture Fetch) which is a key feature used extensively in many of the games that ship today. Without support for this feature the game will fall back to a lesser shader path resulting in the loss of cool, lifelike effects made possible by Shader Model 5.0. -
Accelerated video transcoding
Massively parallel architecture and support for common shader transcoding instructions accelerates video encoding/transcoding way beyond what was possible with the CPU only. -
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 Blu-ray movies. -
TeraScale graphics engine
The TeraScale graphics engine in the ATI Radeon features over one teraFLOPS, nearly one billion transistors and numerous stream processors so you can enjoy the high resolutions and fast frame rates previously only available with dual-card systems. -
AMD PowerTune technology
AMD PowerTune is a breakthrough technology that sets an entirely new 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. -
AMD Advanced Parallel Processing technology
Accelerate the most demanding applications by offloading parallel data compute tasks from the CPU to GPU, dividing the tasks as evenly as possible for improved system performance and reliability.
