How ATI Hybrid Graphics Technology Works
Desktop PCs
Start with a motherboard based on the AMD 780 Chipset with integrated
ATI Radeon™ Graphics. Next, add an ATI Radeon HD 3400 Series
graphics card. The result is a potent performance and productivity
combination called ATI Hybrid Graphics.
The specific combination of the ATI Radeon HD 3400 graphics card
and the motherboard with an AMD 780 chipset turns on ATI Hybrid
CrossFireX™ and ATI SurroundView™ technology. Always
present with the ATI Radeon HD 3000 Series is ATI PowerPlay™ power
management technology.
Notebook PCs
Notebooks with ATI Hybrid Graphics have
similar hardware features but add the benefits of ATI PowerXpress™ technology
which provides on-the-fly switching between the integrated graphics
and
discrete graphics processors. Look for notebooks with the ATI
Hybrid Graphics logo to get the performance, efficiency and productivity.
Flexible and Friendly
ATI Hybrid Graphics is extremely flexible and user friendly. No
user intervention is required to turn on performance with ATI Hybrid
CrossFireX, users have a choice of how to connect to their monitor
or monitors, and when gaming, additional monitors do not “go
black”.
