VisionTek 900689 Leaflet

GCN Architecture: A new design for AMD’s unified graphics processing and compute cores that allows them to achieve higher utilization for improved 

performance and efficiency.
4K Ultra HD Support: Experience what you’ve been missing even at 1080P! With support for 3840 x 2160 output via the HDMI port, textures and other detail 

normally compressed for lower resolutions can now be shown in full pixels per inch of screen definition.
AMD Eyefinty Technology: Run multiple displays from a single graphics board and expand your gaming field of view across all displays.
AMD App Acceleration: AMD App Accelerator creates a “co-processing” environment in which the compute processing potential in your AMD Radeon™ Graphics 

processor works together with the system central processor, to accelerate enabled applications.
AMD HD3D Technology: Supports the latest stereoscopic 3D content and display technologies. Play 3D games, watch Blu-ray 

3D videos, and edit 3D photos on your 3D Monitors, TV, or projector.
AMD CrossFire™ Technology: Multi-GPU support offers superior scalability. Increase your gaming performance up to 2x with 

AMD CrossFire™ technology, 2.75x for TriFire configurations, or 3.75x with QuadFire configs.
AMD HD Media Accelerator: Assumes rendering responsibility for HD encode (VCE)/decode (MPEG-4 ASP, H.264. MVC, MPEG2, 

etc.) and conclusively enable superior video playback quality with advanced hardware post-processing algorithms.
AMD PowerPlay™ Technology: AMD PowerPlay™ Technology dynamically adjusts clockspeeds in response to GPU load, saving 

power for just when you need it.
AMD PowerTune Technology: Maximizes performance under load conditions by dynamically increasing the GPU engine clock 

to take advantage of unused TDP headroom. Also allows users to configure their own TDP limit, within a provided range, for 

even higher performance or more power efficiency.
Advanced GDDR5 Memory Technology: GDDR5 memory provides the highest available memory bandwidth of any memory 

technology today, enabling higher GPU performance.
Boost State Smart Over-Clocking Control: AMD latest Boost State technology automatically allows 

Radeon Graphic to run higher than the base core speed if it’s operating below power, current, and 

temperature specification limits. 
Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio™: Support of content protected, high bandwidth, 7.1 

channels of surround sound over HDMI and DisplayPort.

*Certified power supplies are recommended. Refer to http://ati.amd.com/certifiedPSU for a list of certified products.

With 6Gb/s throughput and over four Teraflops of compute performance, you may just want to use seat belts 

when you fire up the VisionTek Radeon R9 280. It enables you to take advantage of 1440p and up to 4K Ultra HD 

high resolution displays and run the latest games without any lag. With support for the DIRECTX® 11.2 graphics 

standard, you’ll elevate your gaming experience with stunning 3D visual effects, realistic lighting, and lifelike 

imagery. Additionally, the VisionTek Radeon R9 280 offers the following advanced AMD technologies:
