Polaris is a new graphics architecture that incorporates exciting features and improvements for nearly every aspect of a graphics chip. Among these are increased performance levels, smooth VR performance, support for next-generation gaming displays, and vibrant game streaming without a processor.
AMD App Acceleration
Accelerates everyday applications such as web browsing and video playback. Also, the first technology to provide support for OpenCL, C++ AMP, and DirectCompute 11.
AMD PowerTune technology
Smart energy monitoring on AMD Radeon graphics to allow higher clock speeds and better performance in your favorite games.
AMD ZeroCore Power Technology
Allows AMD Radeon graphics to consume almost no power when in idle state. It even shuts down additional GPUs in AMD CrossFire technology mode to consume less power when not in use.
AMD FreeSync
Radeon FreeSync technology enhances gamers' lives by eliminating stuttering and tearing, allowing for a smoother gaming experience. By synchronizing the screen's refresh rate with the GPU's frame rate output, players will never have to worry about artifacts appearing when there is no active variable refresh rate.
AMD Eyefinity
AMD Eyefinity is a technology that allows the combination of two or more monitors to produce a single desktop surface. The screen resolution and screen area of the single desktop surface are determined by the number of monitors and how they are arranged in the Eyefinity group. For example, three 1920x1080 monitors arranged in a 3x1 AMD Eyefinity mode will produce a horizontal desktop with a combined resolution of 5760x1080.
AMD XConnect
Plug in and play
Now it is easier than ever to connect and use an external Radeon graphics card.
With AMD XConnect technology, external GPUs configured with Radeon Graphics can easily be connected and disconnected to a compatible laptop or 2-in-1 via Thunderbolt 3 at any time, just like a USB flash drive - an innovation for external graphics cards!
