DirectX 12The tessellation performance on AMD Radeon R9 series 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*. Direct X12 games have never looked this good! (*Based on preliminary DirectX 12 specifications as of July, 2014. AMD’s GCN-based products are expected to support DirectX 12 upon its release.)
Enhanced Multi-GPU CapabilitiesTriple or quadruple gaming power with AMD CrossFireX Multi-GPU technology. Increase your gaming performance up to two times with AMD CrossFire technology, 2.75 times for TriFire configurations, or with QuadFire configurations. With AMD ZeroCore Power Technology, the graphics card in slave modes will be switched off in idle to maximize the power saving.
AMD HD3D Technology and AMD Avivo HD TechnologyEnjoy 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. Watch the hottest Blu-ray movies or other HD content at full 1080p display resolution and beyond, and enjoy a more feature-rich experience with the enhanced Unified Video Decoder (UVD).
