DirectX® 11

DirectX® 11 is a key feature of Windows® 7 and is important for two key reasons: it helps consumers experience better performing games and faster computing. To do this, DirectX 11 brings several new features which collectively improve the graphic fidelity of games and 3D applications while also enhancing the ability of the CPU and GPU to work together more efficiently. This in turn will allow end-users to potentially realize significant increases in performance as application developers harness the power of tessellation, multi-threading and compute shader technology, three key new features of DirectX 11.

Tessellation
Tessellation is a technique used for many years in the creation of CG film and television effects to add detail to 3D images and it’s now available to PC developers for real time rendering via DirectX 11. A game developer can now program more and more triangles into a character to create incredible details without worrying about massive performance decreases. Tessellation is truly critical for more realistic environments and characters:

- Create dynamic water surfaces - look more realistic than ever before
- Create dynamic clothing on characters - more accurate interaction with environments including wind and movement
- Create more detailed crowds - high levels of detail no longer need to be limited to characters in the front rows

Multi-Threading
Multi-threading support built into DirectX 11 enables rendering tasks assigned to the CPU to be efficiently spread across AMD’s multiple cores, enabling a better balance of performance between the CPU and GPU. When multi-threading is implemented, each core can be assigned work rather than only one or two.

- The CPU can effectively feed the graphics processors more data reducing a performance bottleneck

Compute Shaders

Compute Shaders are programs that are executed on the graphics processor. With DirectX 11 and DirectCompute, developers are able to use the massive parallel processing power of modern GPUs to accelerate a much wider range of applications that were previously only executable on CPUs. Compute Shaders can be used to enable new graphical techniques to enhance image quality (such as order independent transparency, ray tracing, and advanced post-processing effects), or to accelerate a wide variety of non-graphics applications (such as video transcoding, video upscaling, game physics simulation, and artificial intelligence). In games, Compute Shader support effectively enables more scene details and realism:

- Optimized post-processing effects – apply advanced lighting techniques to enhance the mood in a scene
- High quality shadow filtering – no more hard edges on a shadow, see shadows the way you would in real life
- Depth of field – use the power of the GPU to have more realistic transitions of focal points - imagine looking through a gun sight or a camera lens
- High definition ambient occlusion – incredibly realistic lighting and shadow combinations

ATI Eyefinity

Think of it as surround-sight

Expand your view of gaming, productivity, and entertainment and discover a new realm of panoramic computing with ATI Eyefinity advanced multiple-display technology.1, 2 With the introduction of new GPUs from AMD which are compliant with next-generation DirectX® 11, ATI Eyefinity technology with DisplayPort connectivity, enables a single GPU to support up to six independent display outputs simultaneously. Boost everyday productivity, and ease multitasking with a vastly expanded visual workspace. Intensify gaming with ultra-immersive playing environments, and expand your entertainment landscape with a breathtaking field-of-view. Offering easy configuration and flexible upgradability, the innovative graphics capabilities of ATI Eyefinity multiple-display technology helps dissolve visual limitations and adds a new "surround-sight" sensation to your PC experience.

Operate up to six high-resolution displays simultaneously and independently, flexibly configured in various combinations of landscape and portrait orientations. Group multiple monitors into a large integrated display surface, enabling windowed and full-screen 3D applications, images, and video to span across multiple displays as one desktop workspace. ATI Eyefinity advanced multiple-display technology supports Duplicated Mode operation (PC desktop cloned on multiple displays) and Extended Mode (PC desktop extended across multiple displays), and offers comprehensive operating system support that includes Windows® 7, Windows Vista®, and Linux4.


Gaming
Immerse yourself in game play: - Get a commanding view of the action, and enjoy more control in real-time strategy games.
- Detect enemies sooner, react faster, and survive longer in first-person-shooter games.
-See enemy aircraft with peripheral vision, and fly with greater spatial awareness in flight combat simulators.
- Eliminate blind spots and feel a heightened sense of speed in racing games.

Productivity
Helps you get more done:

- Optimize productivity by increasing PC desktop workspace with multiple high-resolution monitors.
- Manage multitasking more efficiently, and view more data, applications, and images at once.
- Avoid time-wasting application-switching, window-sorting, mouse-clicking, and scrolling.
- Improve accuracy, speed workflow, reduce eyestrain, and increase work satisfaction.

Entertainment
Maximize your leisure time:

- Group multiple monitors into a large integrated display surface for the ultimate wide-screen home theater display.
- View TV sports, movies, or video entertainment on one monitor while viewing online stats, Internet pages, or games on other displays.
- Flexibly configure monitors in various combinations of landscape and portrait orientations for specialized video and audio editing applications.

Using ATI Eyefinity

ATI Eyefinity is defined as two or more display outputs operating simultaneously and independently from each other. Support is available for Duplicated (Clone) and Extended multiple monitor modes, with new support for the capability to group displays into a massive single large surface spanning across multiple displays for use with your desktop workspace, video playback, with support for both windowed and full screen 3D applications.

Below are some of key usage scenarios:

3x1 Portrait Display Group	3x1 Landscape Display Group
3x1 Display Group Plus 1 Extended	3x2 Landscape Display Group
3x1 Display Group Plus 3 Extended	2x2 Display Group Plus 2 Extended

(1)Driver version 8.66 (Catalyst 9.10) or above is required to support ATI Eyefinity technology and to enable a third display you require one panel with a DisplayPort connector.
(2)ATI Eyefinity technology works with games that support non-standard aspect ratios which is required for panning across three displays.
(3)TV Tuner required, sold separately.
(4)Linux support scheduled to be enabled via a future ATI Catalyst™ driver release.
