1. AMD Steady Video is a technology designed to eliminate shakes and jitters during the playback of home video. Users may turn
on this technology via the AMD Catalyst Control Center or the VISION Engine Control Center application. AMD Steady Video will
work with content that can run on Adobe Flash Player 10.2 (and later versions) or on any player which has been programed to
use AMDs decode acceleration (DXVA) engine. AMD Steady Video is not designed to (a) isolate overlays, logos or captions, or (b)
improve the playback of letter boxed, premium/commercial, or interlaced content. AMD Steady Video is only recommended for use
with videos that contain unwanted shakes and jitters
2. AMD Radeon Dual Graphics requires an AMD A-Series APU plus an AMD Radeon discrete graphics configuration and is
available on Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 7 Home Premium, and/or Windows 7 Home Basic OS.
Linux OS supports manual switching which requires restart of X-Server to engage and/or disengage the discrete graphics processor
for dual graphics capabilities. With AMD Radeon Dual Graphics, full enablement of all discrete graphics video and display features
may not be supported on all systems and may depend on the master device to which the display is connected. AMD Radeon D
series and AMD Radeon A2 Dual Graphics series and AMD Radeon G series and AMD Radeon G2 Dual Graphics seriesdo not support AMD Eyefinity technology Check with your component or system manufacturer for specific mode capabilities and
supported technologies..
3. Testing done in AMD Performance Labs using 3DMark Vantage Performance Benchmark, to represent visual performance. The
AMD A6 APU-based systems scored 2947 marks; the addition of an AMD Radeon HD 6570 discrete GPU in dual graphics mode
scored 7180 marks. Scores are rounded to the nearest whole mark. The AMD A6 Dual Graphics-based system consists of an AMD
Quad-Core A6-3650 APU with AMD Radeon HD 6610D2 Dual Graphics (AMD A6-3650 with AMD Radeon HD 6530 Discrete-
Class graphics plus AMD Radeon HD 6570 discrete graphics), 8GB DDR3-1600 system memory, a Real SSD C300 hard drive
(256G) and Microsoft Windows Ultimate 64-bit.
4. AMD CrossFireX technology requires an AMD CrossFireX Ready motherboard, an AMD CrossFireX Bridge Interconnect (for each
additional graphics card) and may require a specialized power supply.
5. AMD App Acceleration is a set of technologies designed to improve video quality and enhance application performance. Full
enablement of some features requires support for OpenCL or DirectCompute (including AMDs Universal Video Decoder (UVD)).
Not all products have all features and full enablement of some capabilities and may require complementary products.
6. AMD HD3D is a technology designed to enable stereoscopic 3D support in games, movies and/or photos. Requires 3D stereo drivers,
glasses, and display. Not all features may be supported on all components or systems check with your component or system
manufacturer for specific model capabilities and supported technologies. A list of supported stereoscopic 3D hardware is available
at http://www.amd.com/HD3D.
7. Average expected productivity gain as reported by respondents who were not using, but wanted to use, multiple displays. Jon
