Footnotes

As of January 2010, ATI Radeon™ HD 5670 Graphics cards are the only graphics cards under 75 Watts at full load to provide full support for DirectX® 11, ATI Eyefinity and ATI Stream technology.
ATI Eyefinity technology works with games that support non-standard aspect ratios which is required for panning across three displays and to enable a third display you require one panel with a DisplayPort connector.
Requires application support for ATI Stream technology.
ATI CrossFireX™ technology requires an ATI CrossFireX Ready motherboard and may require an ATI CrossFireX™ Bridge Interconnect (for the additional graphics card) and a specialized power supply.
Digital rights management restrictions may apply.
ATI CrossFireX™ technology requires an ATI CrossFireX Ready motherboard, an ATI CrossFireX™ Bridge Interconnect (for each additional graphics card) 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.
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 1080p streams.
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.
