The XFX R9-285A-CDFC is powered by a Radeon R9 285, the latest AMD GPU designed to play demanding PC games at better detailed resolution than any card in its class. Based on the highly acclaimed AMD GCN architecture and boasting support for DirectX 11.2, the Radeon R9 285 gives you the power to enjoy today’s hottest games — and tomorrow’s, keeping you in the fight whatever the circumstances. With Ultra Resolution Gaming you can leave HD in the dust by gaming on displays much, much larger. Whether using a 4k monitor or combining multiple HD monitors, you’ll get an expansive experience that’s truly out of sight. A rich set of AMD innovative technologies is included, such as App Acceleration, AMD PowerTune, AMD ZeroCore, and AMD HD3D technology. With these technology advancements, you'll get more than one way to elevate your gaming experience.
This model comes equipped with XFX Double Dissipation design for cooler and quieter performance. It is armed with two low-RPM fans and XFX Ghost Thermal 2.0 Technology for efficient cooling to the graphic processor and onboard components.
- XFX Ghost Thermal 2.0 TechnologyXFX's exclusive ghost thermal 2.0 design creates a floating heatsink with open airflow between the PCB and the cover, so air can quickly ventilate off the card while simultaneously cooling the core and the components. Improved from the first generation, the XFX Ghost Thermal 2.0 includes a heat-tested lightweight plastic to create an overall lighter thermal part, which reduces the physical strain on your GPU.
- XFX Double DissipationXFX's exclusive dual fan double dissipation design utilizes two larger fans, which run at a slower RPM than a comparable single fan, to achieve the same cooling performance. Because of this design, XFX is able to achieve up to 13db lower noise than the competitor, while simultaneously reducing the overall temperature by 7°C.
- AMD FreeSync technologyFreeSync does not need to poll or wait on the display in order to determine when it’s safe to send the next frame to the monitor. FreeSync uses industry-standard DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync protocols to pre-negotiate supported min/max refresh rates during plug’n’play, which means frame presentation to the user will never be delayed or impaired by time-consuming two-way handshakes.
- MantleThere’s optimization, and then there’s Mantle. Games enabled with Mantle speak the language of GCN architecture to unlock revolutionary performance and image quality. (Application support is required.)
- AMD TrueAudio TechnologyAMD TrueAudio technology brings the world’s first programmable audio pipeline, marking a new frontier in realism for PC gamers. AMD TrueAudio technology empowers game developers with a programmable audio pipeline on the GPU, inviting them to put their unique artistic fingerprint on in-game audio in the same way that the programmable graphics pipeline brought unfettered artistic vision to PC graphics. Enabled games can feature more realistic environmental dynamics, a richer tapestry of sound effects, breathtaking directional audio, and more. AMD TrueAudio technology enhances audio realism by simulating the human brain’s perception of real-world sound, working in concert with the user’s existing audio hardware to recreate a lifelike experience.
- AMD App AccelerationImprove performance of everyday tasks such as web browsing, office applications, and video rendering.
