Footnotes

ATI Eyefinity Technology can support up to 3 displays using a single enabled ATI Radeon™ graphics card – the number of displays may vary by board design and you should confirm exact specifications with the applicable manufacturer before purchase. ATI 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 certified DisplayPort™ adapters to convert your monitor’s native input to your cards DisplayPort™ or Mini-DisplayPort™ connector(s), are required. Digital management rights restrictions may apply.
Requires application support for ATI Stream technology.
HD Monitor Required.
OpenCL compliant driver and SDK release scheduled for later in 2010.
Digital rights management restrictions may apply.
ATI CrossFireX™ technology requires an ATI CrossFireX Ready motherboard, and may require a specialized power supply.
ATI PowerPlay™, ATI Avivo™ and ATI Stream are technology platforms that include a broad set of capabilities offered by certain ATI Radeon™ HD GPUs. Not all products have all features and full enablement of some capabilities and may require complementary products.
Upscaling subject to available monitor resolution.
Not available with Blu-ray picture-in-picture.
May not be available for all desktop resolutions with Windows Aero enabled.
Adobe Flash video acceleration and post-processing is supported for H.264-encoded content. Requires Adobe Flash Player 10.1 plug-in and Catalyst 9.11 or higher.
Blu-ray or HD DVD drive and HD monitor required.
Requires Blu-ray movie disc supporting dual streams or picture-in-picture.
Playing HDCP content requires additional HDCP ready components, including but not limited to an HDCP ready monitor, Blu-ray or HD DVD disc drive, multimedia application and computer operating system.
Some custom resolutions require user configuration.
Requires 3D stereo drivers, glasses, and display.
Driver version 8.66 (Catalyst 9.10) or above is required to support ATI Eyefinity technology and to enable a third display you require one panel with a DisplayPort connector.
