CLUB3D CGAX-7977C

RADEON HD 7970 3GB GDDR5 CTLR 2X M-DP DL-DVI

The Club 3D Radeon™ HD 7970 is the first graphics card of the HD 7970 series and using a 28nm GPU and supporting Direct3D 11.1 that will initially ship with Windows 8.

With 2048 stream processors and coupled with a 384 bit GDDR5 memory bus will provide 3.79TFLOPs of computing performance, representing no comprise for the active gamer, who desires technology that enables an incredible gaming experience on the latest and most demanding title.

EYEFINITY 2.0
Eyefinity™ 2.0 Technology features all-new support for Stereo 3D, universal bezel compensation and brand new display configurations which allows the user to configure custom resolutions and the ability to relocate the Windows task bar to an arbitrary screen.

DIGITAL MULTI-POINT AUDIO (DDMA)
The next step in audio output from a graphics card. Traditionally video cards has been able to output audio through the HDMI port and audio has been restricted to to a single device, be it a monitor, HDTV or a receiver.

With DDMA now you can send audio to multiple devices via the DisplayPort combined with the HDMI.

Imagine a video conferencing where each attendee is mapped to a monitor and with DDMA set on each monitor speaker set.

Graphics Core Next (GCN) Architecture and AMD App Acceleration
A revolutionary new architecture. Jump right into GPGPU applications today with Microsoft C++ AMP™ and OpenCL™ for spectacular performance with the GCN architecture. From video editors to Internet browsers, AMD App Acceleration™ is a supercharger for everyday applications. The Club 3D Radeon™ HD 7970 was engineered for the revolution in GPU compute.

ZERO CORE POWER
AMD is introducing with the Southern Islands chipset their long idle power saving technology. Now the graphics card can turn off most of its functional units of the GPU, when they are unused, leaving only the PCI Express bus and other components active. This as a result, reduce the power consumption from 15W at idle to under 3W in long idle, a power level low enough that Zero Core Power shuts off the fan as there is no heat generated further saving energy.

ZCP will put CrossFire™ grapics cards in ZCP when not in use.
