  1. 1080p capable HD display required
  2. ATI PowerPlay™, ATI Avivo HD and ATI Stream™ are technology platforms that include a broad set of capabilities offered by certain ATI Radeon GPUs. Not all products have all features and full enablement of some capabilities may require complementary products.
  3. ATI Radeon HD 3870 GPUs support PCIe 2.0. Some board configurations may not fully comply with complete PCIe 2.0 specification and operate at PCIe 1.1 specifications on motherboards that support PCIe 2.0. Please consult with board manufacturer if this is an important feature for you.
  4. The ATI Radeon HD 3000 GPUs are capable of outputting DisplayPort signals. Manufacturers of ATI Radeon HD 3000 graphics cards may choose to implement this functionality – you may inquire of them which models, if any, support DisplayPort.

ATI Radeon™ HD graphics chips have numerous features integrated into the processor itself (e.g., HDCP, HDMI®, etc.). Third parties manufacturing products based on, or incorporating ATI Radeon HD graphics chips, may choose to enable some or all of these features. If a particular feature is important to you, please inquire of the manufacturer if a particular product supports this feature. In addition, some features or technologies may require you to purchase additional components in order to make full use of them (e.g. a Blu-Ray or HD-DVD drive, HDCP-ready monitor, etc.).
