The enhancements for this AMD Radeon series graphics card include Stereo 3 D-multi-display stereoscopic 3 D support via Display Port 16 K x 16 K maximum display group resolution-output up to 268 megapixels per GPU.

The tessellation performance on this AMD R9 series graphics card is up to 2 X faster than the previous generation, and Direct Compute performance is also faster to accelerate advanced post-processing, filtering, and anti-aliasing techniques.

Open GL 4.3 improves the GPU efficiency by improving the shader process operation and capturing GPU tessellated geometry. The process of modifying an arbitrary subset of compressed textures is also simplified. The memory management in handling shaders is more efficient as well.

The AMD Catalyst Control Center software application gives you complete control over the performance and visual quality of your Sapphire AMD Radeon based graphics card allowing for an improved overall experience.

Support for copy protected, high bandwidth, 7.1 channel surround sound over HDMI. Get a fully immersive, high definition audio experience with Blu-ray movies. (Requires an HD capable monitor and a Blu-ray drive).

Supports advanced AA (Anti-aliasing) features for maximized high definition gaming.
Multi-sample anti-aliasing (2, 4, or 8 samples per pixel)
• Up to 24x Custom Filter Anti-Aliasing (CFAA)
Adaptive super-sampling and multi-sampling
• Gamma correct
Super AA (AMD Cross Fire X configurations only)
• All Anti-aliasing features compatible with HDR rendering

AMD Power Tune Technology allows the GPU to be designed with higher engine clock speeds which can be applied on the broad set of applications that have thermal headroom.

Watch Blu-ray movies or other HD content at full 1080p 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.
