Overview

Introducing ATI Hybrid Graphics Technology
ATI Hybrid Graphics is a ground-breaking technology featuring multi-GPU performance capabilities, automatic power state adjustment for power-savings, and multi-display functionality. This AMD platform technology enhances the user experience by combining an AMD 780 Chipset with integrated graphics and a discrete ATI Radeon™ HD 3000 Series or ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 3000 Series GPU so they work co-operatively yet independently of each other to bring enhanced gaming performance, productivity and platform power efficiency to the mainstream PC. ATI Hybrid Graphics includes the following technologies: Overview of ATI HYbrid Graphics Technologies

ATI Hybrid CrossFireX™ Technology
Based on ATI CrossFireX™ multi-GPU technology, ATI Hybrid CrossFireX™ takes the gaming experience on a mainstream Windows Vista® PC1 to the next level. When combining an AMD 780 Chipset with an integrated GPU and a discrete ATI Radeon™ HD 3400 Series2 or ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 3400 Series GPU, ATI Hybrid CrossFireX™ combines the GPU performance and delivers high-quality gaming images onto a single display.

ATI SurroundView™ Technology
ATI Hybrid Graphics technology enables ATI SurroundView™ which provides support for 4 independent monitors when an applicable integrated GPU is combined with a discrete GPU. Each additional discrete GPU supports 2 or more independent monitors. The integrated graphics processor and the discrete graphics processor work in parallel to drive multiple displays for superior productivity.

ATI PowerPlay™ Technology
ATI PowerPlay™ power management technology enables the GPU to automatically adjust between low, medium and high states for efficiency and performance-on-demand. For example, when emailing there is less demand on the GPU and it runs in a low state and when gaming it runs in high state to provide the additional power needed to play demanding titles. ATI PowerPlay does not require both an integrated graphics processor and a discrete graphics processor in order to operate.

ATI PowerXpress™ Technology (Available on notebook PCs using Windows Vista® OS)
ATI PowerXpress™ dynamically switches (no reboot required) in real time between an ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 3400 series graphics processor and an integrated graphics processor. Experience superior discrete graphics performance while plugged in, or switch to energy efficient integrated graphics when on-the-go to help extend battery life.
