  • Brand: Sapphire
  • Model: 100311-2SR
  • Features
  • Dual-Link DVI: Equipped with the most popular Dual Link DVI (Digital Visual Interface); this card is able to display ultra high resolutions of up to 2560 x 1600 at 60Hz.
  • HDMI 1.4a: HDMI 1.4a builds on previous generations of HDMI connectivity with support for Deep Color; 7.1 High Bitrate Audio; and 3D Stereoscopic support; ensuring the highest quality Blu-ray and video experience possible from your PC.
  • Mini-DisplayPort: Enjoy the benefits of the latest generation display interface; DisplayPort. With the ultra high HD resolution of 2560 x 1600 the graphics card ensures that you are able to support the latest generation of LCD monitors.
  • Single-Link DVI-D: Supports Digital monitors up to 1920x1200 resolution.
  • DisplayPort 1.2: Doubling the effective bandwidth of previous DisplayPort implementations; DisplayPort 1.2 now includes support for Multi-Stream; allowing you to drive up to four separate monitors from a single DisplayPort 1.2 connector (requires DP1.2 monitors or Multi-Stream compatible hub); Stereoscopic 3D monitor support and adds support for high quality; lossless; 7.1 channel audio formats.
  • Advanced GDDR5 Memory Technology: GDDR5 memory provides twice the bandwidth per pin of GDDR3 memory; delivering more speed and higher bandwidth.
  • AMD Eyefinity: AMD Eyefinity technology maximises your field of view across up to three displays; fully engaging your peripheral vision. For gamers this puts you right IN the game and for other applications it helps to increase productivity by maximising your visual workspace so that you can see more windows simultaneously. AMD Eyefinity technology is also ideal for multimedia applications as it allows you to keep several ‘palettes’ or ‘panels’ open over a larger workspace whist you edit your images or videos.*: : Eyefinity Demo:
  • *To support 3 displays; one of the monitors has to support DisplayPort
  • **When running Microsoft Windows XP; Eyefinity technlogy supports a maximum of 2 displays.: AMD Avivo HD (DVD/HD-DVD/Blu-ray Playback): 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 enhanced Unified Video Decoder(UVD)
  • AMD CrossFireX™ Multi-GPU Technology: Triple or Quadruple gaming power with AMD CrossFireX™ Multi-GPU Technology.AMD CrossFireX technology supports up to four graphics cards to be used in a single system.: PCI-Express 2.0: The latest PCI-Express 2.0 specification doubles data throughput from 2.5Gbps to 5Gbps allowing you to exploit the full performance potential of your graphics card.
  • AMD HD3D Technology: Enjoy 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.
  • Microsoft DirectX® 11: Get intense gaming performance and unrivalled image quality with stunning 3D visual effects; realistic lighting and lifelike imagery with SAPPHIRE graphics cards supporting DirectX®11. New features in DirectX®11 such as Hardware Tesselation; HDR Texture Compression; Multi-threading support and DirectCompute bring lifelike gaming and an experience never possible on a PC before.
  • OpenGL® 4.1: Supports the latest OpenGL API (Application Programming Interface) to accelerate performance of applications outside of DirectX®; i.e. Adobe Autodesk 2D/3D graphic design.
  • Shader Model 5.0: Supports the latest Shader Model 5.0 feature set including VTF (Vertex Texture Fetch) which is a key feature used extensively in many of the games that ship today. Without support for this feature the game will fall back to a lesser shader path resulting in the loss of cool; lifelike effects made possible by Shader Model 5.0
  • AMD Catalyst Control Center™: 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 the best experience on your PC.
  • Dolby® TrueHD and DTSHD Master Audio™ Support: Support for copy protected; high bandwidth; 7.1 channel surround sound over HDMI. Get a fully immersive; high definition audio experience with the latest Blu-ray movies. (Requires a DVI to HDMI dongle on some models; an HD capable monitor and a Blu-ray drive)
  • Anti-aliasing features: Supports advanced AA (Anti-aliasing) features to maximise your enjoyment of high definition gaming.: Multi-sample anti-aliasing (2; 4 or 8 samples per pixel)
  • Up to 24x Custom Filter Anti-Aliasing (CFAA) for superior quality
  • Adaptive super-sampling and multi-sampling
  • Gamma correct
  • Super AA (AMD CrossFireX™configurations only)
  • All anti-aliasing features compatible with HDR rendering: AMD PowerPlay™: Dynamically manage power efficiency and take control of your performance with AMD’s revolutionary AMD PowerPlay TM power management technology delivering high performance features when needed and conserving power when the demand on the graphics processor is low. This seemless technology dramatically reduces the overall power consumption allowing for break-through energy efficiency.
  • 4th Generation TeraScale Engine: Massive arrays of on-chip compute units offer the latest in graphics functionality and performance.
  • AMD PowerTune™ Technology: AMD PowerTune is a breakthrough technology that sets an entirely new direction for maximum performance at TDP. It 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.
  • AMD Advanced Parallel Processing technology: Accelerate the most demanding applications by offloading parallel data compute tasks from the CPU to GPU; dividing the tasks as evenly as possible for improved system performance and reliability.
  • Display Flexibility: Offers an incredible choice of the latest display connectivity options natively on the board; including dual-link DVI-I; DisplayPort and HDMIalong with adapters to ensure compatibility with your legacy analogue VGA monitor.
  • TriXX Utility: TriXX helps users to get the optimum performance from compatible SAPPHIRE graphics cards in any application by allowing them to monitor; tune and save different settings of key parameters for the card.
  • Enhanced Unified Video Decoder 3 (UVD 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.
