AMD Dual Graphics Technology The AMD A88X series platform showcases AMD Dual Graphics technology, allowing users to further boost 3D graphics performance by adding an additional discrete AMD Radeon HD 6000 series graphics card* to the system. This unique Dual Graphics technology means users can enjoy higher frame rates on the latest gaming titles, utilizing the processing power of both discrete & integrated graphics processors. AMD Eyefinity Technology Supporting multiple independent display outputs simultaneously, AMD Eyefinity technology delivers innovative graphics display capabilities enabling massive desktop workspaces & ultra-immersive visual environments for the ultimate panoramic computing experience. Multi-display support with AMD Cross Fire Flexible graphics capabilities
- Up to 2 VGA cards are supported for 2 way AMD Cross Fire (running at x 16, x 4 bandwidth), delivering the ultimate in graphics performance for gaming enthusiasts who demand the highest frame rates without compromising on resolution. Triple-monitor support GIGABYTE FM2+ series motherboards are taking advantage of AMD Eyefinity technology, to allow users to extend their OS desktop by connecting up to three high-resolution digital displays. Triple displays mean more real-estate for enhanced productivity, plus the ability to enjoy panoramic triple screen 3D gaming thanks to AMD′s optimized Eyefinity driver technology. Dual-link DVI port Designed to leverage the awesome potential of the latest AMD Fusion A-series APUs, GIGABYTE motherboards deliver an enhanced visual experience that
Includes:: advanced DX11 gaming, incredibly smooth HD multimedia playback & support for high resolution displays of up to 2560 x 1600 pixels by Dual-link DVI port. HDMI Interface HDMI is latest High-Definition Multimedia Interface, which is able to provide up to 5 Gb/s video transmitting bandwidth & also 8-channel high quality audio. Via transmitting uncompressed digital data, HDMI is able to reduce signal interference as transferring between digital & analog signal, seen & heard, direct from the source. In addition, HDMI is compatible with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), which allowing playback of Blu-ray/ HD DVD & other protected contents. High ESD protection for USB (Universal Serial Bus) & LAN (USB3.0 only) GIGABYTE motherboards raise the bar in terms of protecting your system, providing advanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection for both your Ethernet LAN & USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports, both common sources of ESD-related failures. Each LAN & USB (Universal Serial Bus) port is paired with a dedicated protection filter that can withstand high electrostatic discharges, protecting your system from common electrical surges & even direct lighting strikes.
