28nm GCN (Graphic Core Next) Architecture

New, 28nm GCN Architecture with more efficient process technology puts more transistors in less space, enabling a dramatic increase in Processing Power. Crank the settings, devastate your enemies and bear witness to absurdly high frame rates with AMD Radeon HD7000 series graphics cards. DirectX 11 has never looked this good! Maximum setting and crazy performance shouldn't be a compromise. The AMD Radeon HD7900 Series with the new 28nm GCN Architecture assures that it's not.

PCI Express 3.0

PCI-Express 3.0 delivers double the bandwidth per lane of PCIe Gen 2 for faster GPU (GPU communication-up to 16GB/sec in each direction), 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 all-new support for stereo 3D, universal bezel compensation and brand new display configurations. Face it, the best just got better! Enhancements for AMD Radeon HD7000 series include: Stereo 3D-multi-display, stereoscopic 3D support via DisplayPort, and 16K X 16K maximum display group resolution - with output up to 268 megapixels per GPU.

*To support 3 displays, one of the monitors has to support DisplayPort. With Sapphire Flex Technology, this requirement will not be necessary.
**When running Microsoft Windows XP, Eyefinity Technology supports a maximum of two displays.

GHz Edition

The gigahertz barrier has been broken. Armed with a stunning 1GHz GPU based on the revolutionary GCN Architecture, the AMD Radeon™ HD 7000 GHz Edition (Selected model) is quite simply engineered to annihilate.

OpenGL 4.2

OpenGL 4.2 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.

Best Microsoft DirectX11 Support

The tessellation performance on AMD Radeon HD7000 is up to two times faster than the previous generation, and DirectCompute performance is also faster to accelerate advanced post-processing, filtering, and anti-aliasing techniques. DirectX 11 games have never looked this good!
