CODEC enables high-quality 192KHz/24-bit audio output and jack-detect feature that
automatically detects and identifies what types of peripherals are plugged into the audio
I/O jacks and notifies users of inappropriate connection, which means there will be no more
confusion of Line-in, Line-out, and Mic jacks.
AMD CrossFireX™ Technology
®
AMD's CrossFireX™ boosts image quality along with rendering speed, eliminating the
need to scale down screen resolution to get high quality images. CrossFireX™ allows
higher antialiasing, anisotropic filtering, shading, and texture settings. Adjust your display
configurations, experiment with the advanced 3D settings, and check the effects with a real-
time 3D-rendered previews within AMD Catalyst™ Control Center.
