The innovative AMD LiquidVR technology enhances gaming realism and maintains ultra-immersive VR presence. Expand your field of view with AMD Eyefinity multi-display technology and see everything in 1080p — without sacrificing a single detail. With the sonic brilliance of AMD TrueAudio technology, your games now sound as good as they look.

Microsoft DirectX 12 Support

The DirectX 12 is a new “console-like” graphics API from Microsoft that empowers game developers with more direct and obvious control of PC hardware. This direct or “explicit” control better exposes the hardware resources of AMD Radeon GPUs to yield higher hardware throughput and, ultimately, more performance for users. To put it simply: much more efficient hardware through smarter software. At the discretion of a game developer, this superior efficiency can be spent on higher framerates, lower latency (VR), lower power consumption, better image quality, or some calculated balance of all four. In any scenario, gamers stand to benefit greatly from choosing AMD hardware to run their favorite DirectX 12 game.

AMD LiquidVR Technology

LiquidVR is an AMD initiative dedicated to making VR as comfortable and realistic as possible by creating and maintaining what’s known as “presence” — a state of immersive awareness where situations, objects, or characters within the virtual world seem “real.” Guided by close collaboration with key technology partners in the ecosystem, LiquidVR uses AMD’s GPU software and hardware sub-systems to tackle the common issues and pitfalls of achieving presence, such as reducing motion-to-photon latency to less than 10 milliseconds. This is a crucial step in addressing the common discomforts, such as motion sickness, that may occur when you turn your head in a virtual world and it takes even a few milliseconds too long for a new perspective to be shown.

AMD Eyefinity Technology

AMD Eyefinity technology expands the traditional limits of desktop computing by multiplying your screen area. With multiple monitors, games become more immersive, workstations become more useful and you become more productive (an average of 42% more productive according to one study). This video card offers you the ability to play across five screens for an eye-popping gaming experience. Create your dream display.

AMD Crossfire Technology

Unlocking game-dominating power, AMD CrossFire technology harnesses the power of two or more discrete graphics cards working in parallel to dramatically improve gaming performance. With the flexibility to combine two, three or four GPUs, AMD CrossFire technology is the perfect solution for those who demand extreme performance.

Enhanced Unified Video Decoder 3

Watch the hottest Blu-ray movies or other HD content at full 1080p (and beyond) display resolution. Enjoy a feature rich video experience with enhanced Unified Video Decoder 3 (UVD 3), offloading the bulk of the video decoding tasks from the CPU to the GPU allowing for a cooler, quieter and more balanced system.

AMD TrueAudio technology

By leveraging AMD TrueAudio technology, game developers have the ability to recreate acoustic environments with incredible fidelity, and to bring them to every gamer. With AMD technology inside all the most popular “next-generation” gaming platforms, including the PC, gamers across the entire industry will finally enjoy the best audio today’s technology can offer.
