  • AMD Radeon R9 290X CrossFire configuration (3840x2160 Ultra settings, MSAA = 4X) - 93% scaling
  • AMD Eyefinity Verbesserungen:

Mixed Resolution Support

  • A new architecture providing brand new capabilities
  • Display groups can be created with monitors of different resolution (including difference sizes and shapes)
  • Users have a choice of how surface is created over the display group
  • Fill – legacy mode, best for identical monitors
  • Fit – create the Eyefinity surface using best available rectangular area with attached displays.
  • Expand – create a virtual Eyefinity surface using desktops as viewports onto the surface.
  • Eyefinity Display Alignment
  • Enables control over alignment between adjacent monitors
  • One-Click Setup
  • Driver detects layout of extended desktops
  • Can create Eyefinity display group using this layout in one click!
  • New user controls for video color and display settings

Greater control over Video Color Management:

  • Controls have been expanded from a single slider for controlling Boost and Hue to per color axis
  • Color depth control for Digital Flat Panels (available on supported HDMI and DP displays)
  • Allows users to select different color depths per resolution and display

AMD Mantle enhancements

  • Mantle now supports AMD Mobile products with Enduro technologyEnables support for Multi-GPU configurations with Thief (requires the latest Thief update).
  • Battlefield 4: AMD Radeon HD 8970M (1366x768; high settings) – 21% gain
  • Thief: AMD Radeon HD 8970M (1920x1080; high settings) – 14% gain
  • Star Swarm: AMD Radeon HD 8970M (1920x1080; medium settings) – 274% gain

AMD AM1 JPEG decoding acceleration

  • JPEG decoding acceleration was first enabled on the A10 APU Series in AMD Catalyst 14.1 beta, and has now been extended to the AMD AM1 Platform
  • Provides fast JPEG decompression
  • Provides Power Efficiency for JPEG decompression

 

*I find it weird this JPEG decoding didn't end up being a multi-ecosystem wide enhancement, not just for the APU ecosystem.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz
