Footnotes:
Additional hardware (e.g. Blu-ray drive, HD or 10-bit monitor, TV tuner) and /or software (e.g. multimedia applications) are required for the full enablement of some features. Not all features may be supported on all components or systems – check with your component or system manufacturer for specific model capabilities and supported technologies.
- 1. AMD Eyefinity Technology can support multiple display using a single enabled AMD Radeon™ graphics card with Windows Vista or Windows 7 operating system – the number of display may vary by board design and you should confirm exact specifications with the applicable manufacturer before purchase. AMD Eyefinity technology works with games that support non-standard aspect ratios, which is required for panning across multiple displays. To enable more than two displays, additional panels with native DisplayPort™ connectors, and/or certified DisplayPort™ adapters to convert your monitor’s native input to your cards DisplayPort™ or Mini-DisplayPort™ connector(s), are required.
- 2. AMD [HD3D] is a technology designed to enable stereoscopic 3D support in games, movies and/or photos
- 3. AMD EyeSpeed technology is a set of technologies designed to improve video quality and enhanced application performance. Full enablement of some features requires support for AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing (APP) technology and/or AMD’s Universal Video Decoder (UVD)
- 4. Requires application support for AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing technology. AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing is a technology platform that includes a broad set of capabilities offered by certain AMD Radeon™ GPUs. Not all products have all features and full enablement of some capabilities and may require complementary products. AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing technology works with applications specifically designed to enable its GPU accelerated features.
- 5. AMD CrossFireX™ technology requires an AMD CrossFireX™ Ready motherboard, an AMD CrossFireX™ Bridge Interconnect (for each additional graphics card) and may require a specialized power supply.
