AMD PowerPlay™ technology4

AMD PowerPlay™ technology dynamically adjusts clockspeeds in response to GPU load, saving power for just when you need it.

Ensures maximum GPU efficiency by dynamically scaling clockspeeds and power consumption in response to GPU loads.


AMD PowerTune

technology3

Maximizes performance under load conditions by dynamically increasing the GPU engine clock to take advantage of unused TDP headroom. Also allows users to

configure their own TDP limit, within a provided range, for

even higher performance or more power efficiency.

Performs intelligent assessment of the GPU’s real-time power draw to enable higher clockspeeds and faster performance in your favorite games.

PCI Express 3.07 Delivers double the bandwidth per lane of PCIe Gen 2 for faster GPU <-> CPU communication (up to 16 GB/sec in each direction).

Get the maximum performance from your GPU when paired with the latest platforms

AMD CrossFire™

technology6

Multi-GPU support offers superior scalability

Increase your gaming performance up to 2x with AMD CrossFire™ technology, 2.75x for TriFire configurations, or 3.75x with QuadFire configs.7

28 nm Process Technology

The new 28nm GCN Architecture’s more efficient process technology puts more transistors in less space, enabling a dramatic increase in processing power

Helps provide better processor performance while using less power and better transistor efficiency than previous generation technology

Advanced GDDR5 Memory Technology

GDDR5 memory provides the highest available memory bandwidth of any memory technology today, enabling higher GPU performance.

Delivers more speed and higher bandwidth for high-performance GPUs.

Enhanced Internet Applications

Accelerate rendering performance with the latest web browsers (IE10, Firefox 6) and programming interfaces

(Direct2D, HTML5, WebGL, Flash 11 / Molehill)

Enables a faster and smoother browsing experience with high quality real-time 3D graphics.

Microsoft Windows® 7

Support

Comprehensive OS support including Windows XP, Windows Vista, the very latest Windows® 7 functionality and Driver support

Designed to deliver all the benefits of Microsoft Windows® 7 OS


Additional Information Notes:

The following footnote is a standard requirement for any AMD Radeon™ graphics messaging:

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 The GCN Architecture and its associated features (PCI Express® 3.0, AMD ZeroCore Power technology, DDM Audio, and 28nm production) are exclusive to

the AMD Radeon™ HD 7900, HD 7800 and HD 7700 Series.

2 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 DisplayPort™ compliant active adapters to convert your monitor’s native

input to your cards DisplayPort™ or Mini-DisplayPort™ connector(s), are required. Support for five simultaneous displays may require complementary products compatible with DisplayPort 1.2 Multi-Stream Transport. Maximum number of configured displays may vary - check with your component or system

manufacturer for specific model capabilities and supported technologies. SLS (―Single Large Surface‖) functionality requires an identical display resolution on

all configured displays.

3 AMD App Acceleration is a set of technologies designed to improve video quality and enhance application performance. Full enablement of some features

requires support for OpenCL™, DirectCompute or DirectX® Video Acceleration (DXVA). Not all products have all features and full enablement of some capabilities and may require complementary products.

4 AMD PowerPlay™, AMD PowerTune and AMD ZeroCore Power are technologies offered by certain AMD Radeon™ products, which are designed to intelligently

manage GPU power consumption in response to certain GPU load conditions. Not all products feature all technologies – check with your component or system manufacturer for specific model capabilities.

5 AMD HD3D is a technology designed to enable stereoscopic 3D support in games, movies and/or photos. Requires 3D stereo drivers, glasses, and display. 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. A list of supported stereoscopic 3D hardware is available at http://www.amd.com/HD3D.

6 AMD CrossFire™ technology requires an AMD CrossFire Ready motherboard, an AMD CrossFire™ Bridge Interconnect (for each additional graphics card) and

may require a specialized power supply.

7 Utilization of PCI Express 3.0 bandwidth requires a mainboard equipped with a PCI Express 3.0 PHY. Not all mainboards feature this technology – check with

your component or system manufacturer for specific model capabilities.

8 Based on benchmark scores as evaluated by AMD performance labs using the AMD Radeon™ HD 7770 as of 16 January, 2012. Testing based on AMD Catalyst™ driver 8.932. AMD Radeon™ testing performed with the following configuration: Intel® Core™ i7-3960X (3.3GHz), MSI X79A-GD65, 16GB (4x4GB)

DDR3-1600 (9-9-9-24), Microsoft® Windows® 7 operating system.
