[1] The GCN Architecture and its associated features (PCI Express® 3.0, AMD ZeroCore Power technology, DDM Audio, and 28nm production) are exclusive to the AMD Radeon? HD 7900, HD 7700 and HD 7800 Series Graphics.
[2] AMD 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 DisplayPort? compliant active adapters to convert your monitor?s native input to your cards DisplayPort? or Mini-DisplayPort? connector(s), are required. Support for five simultaneous displays may require complementary products compatible with DisplayPort 1.2 Multi-Stream Transport. Maximum number of configured displays may vary - check with your component or system manufacturer for specific model capabilities and supported technologies. SLS (?Single Large Surface?) functionality requires an identical display resolution on all configured displays.
[3] AMD PowerPlay?, AMD PowerTune and AMD ZeroCore Power are technologies offered by certain AMD Radeon? products, which are designed to intelligently manage GPU power consumption in response to certain GPU load conditions. Not all products feature all technologies ? check with your component or system manufacturer for specific model capabilities.
