Product features

• AMD XConnect technology
  Plug in and game on with AMD XConnect technology. Now it's easier than ever to connect and use an external Radeon graphics card. With AMD XConnect technology, external GPU enclosures configured with Radeon graphics can easily connect and disconnect to a compatible ultrathin notebook or 2-in 1 over Thunderbolt 3 at any time, just like a USB flash drive!
• Virtual Super Resolution
  Virtual Super Resolution (VSR) is an AMD feature that is game and engine agnostic to simulate Super-Sampling Anti-Aliasing (SSAA) in games that do not have native SSAA support. VSR can also be used in conjunction with other native in-game anti-aliasing for even more game graphics-setting control. VSR allows games to render at higher resolutions and then rescales them down to a lower native display resolution. Using this, you can get quality that rivals up to 4K, even on a 1080p display while playing your favorite games.
• VR friendly
  The Sapphire NITRO Gaming Series cards come with dual HDMI ports, specifically designed to work with VR. By having two HDMI ports, you can have both an HD monitor and VR headset running at the same time. The ports are HDMI 2.0b, with an 18 Gbps bandwidth, up to 32 audio channels, and is able to support 4K 50/60 resolutions, whilst remaining entirely backwards compatible with older HDMI specifications.
• HDR ready
  High Dynamic Range (HDR) is an amazing technology for gamers and cinephiles that care deeply about the display quality of their TV or monitor. HDR vastly expands the range of colors and contrast ratios that can be shown by compatible displays. HDR-ready games and movies played on an HDR display appear strikingly sharp, colorful, and vivid, with enhanced contrast and sophisticated nuance compared to even the most stunning SDR content.
• AMD Freesync technology
  AMD FreeSync technology allows a compatible graphics card and monitor to dynamically change frame rates for the optimum display quality without tearing.
• AMD Eyefinity technology
  AMD Eyefinity technology expands the traditional limits of desktop computing by multiplying your screen area. With multiple monitors, games become more immersive, workstations become more useful and you become more productive. Take your PC games to the next level of reality and immersion. Most modern games look great on three screens, and AMD Radeon graphics offer you the ability to play across five screens for an eye-popping gaming experience.
• AMD CrossFire
  AMD CrossFire technology is the ultimate multi-GPU performance gaming platform. Unlocking game-dominating power, AMD CrossFire harnesses the power of two or more discrete graphics cards working in parallel to dramatically improve gaming performance.
• Frame Rate Target Control
  Frame Rate Target Control (FRTC) enables users to set a target maximum frame rate when playing an application in full screen mode; the benefit being that FRTC can reduce GPU power consumption (great for games running at frame rates much higher than the display refresh rate) and therefore reduce heat generation and fan speeds/noise on the graphics card. Frame Rate Target Control caps performance not only in 3D rendered in-game scenes, but also in splash screens, loading screens and menus, where frame rates can often run needlessly into the hundreds of FPS. Users might wish to set a very high cap just to limit wasteful FPS like that seen in menus and such, while still taking advantage of the responsiveness given by FPS well beyond 60.
