Introducing AMD LiquidVR
LiquidVRâ„¢ is an AMD initiative dedicated to making VR as comfortable and realistic as possible by creating and maintaining what's known as presence - a state of immersive awareness where situations, objects, or characters within the virtual world seem real. Guided by close collaboration with key technology partners in the ecosystem, LiquidVRâ„¢ uses AMD's GPU software and hardware sub-systems to tackle the common issues and pitfalls of achieving presence, such as reducing motion-to-photon latency to less than 10 milliseconds. This is a crucial step in addressing the common discomforts, such as motion sickness, that may occur when you turn your head in a virtual world and it takes even a few milliseconds too long for a new perspective to be shown.
AMD XConnectâ„¢ Technology
Plug in and game on with AMD XConnect technology.
Now it's easier than ever to connect and use an external Radeonâ„¢ graphics card. With AMD XConnectâ„¢ technology, external GPU enclosures configured with Radeonâ„¢ Graphics can easily connect and disconnect to a compatible ultrathin notebook or 2-in 1 over Thunderboltâ„¢ 3 at any time, just like a USB flash drive-a first for external GPUs!
HDR Ready
High Dynamic Range (HDR) is a state-of-the-art technology for gamers and cinephiles that care deeply about the display quality of their TV or monitor. Modeled after the acuity of human vision, HDR vastly expands the range of colors and contrast ratios that can be shown by compatible displays. HDR-ready games and movies played on an HDR display appear strikingly sharp, colorful, and vivid, with enhanced contrast and sophisticated nuance compared to even the most stunning SDR content.
Virtual Super Resolution
Virtual Super Resolution (VSR) is an AMD feature that is game and engine agnostic to simulate Super-Sampling Anti-Aliasing (SSAA) in games that do not have native SSAA support. VSR can also be used in conjunction with other native in-game anti-aliasing for even more game graphics-setting control. VSR allows games to render at higher resolutions (up to 4K; see the 'Virtual Super Resolution Support' table, below) and then rescales them down to a lower native display resolution. Using this, you can get quality that rivals up to 4K, even on a 1080p display while playing your favorite games.
AMD Freesync technology
No stuttering. No tearing. Just gaming.
AMD FreeSyncâ„¢ technology allows a compatible graphics card and monitor to dynamically change frame rates for the optimum display quality without tearing or stuay.
Industry-Standard Displayport
Freesync uses industry-standard displayport Adaptive-Sync Eliminates screen tearing without all the usual lag and latency
- Synchronizes the refresh rate of a compatible monitor to the frame rate of your content, however much it varies
- Monitor partners are validating with drivers from AMD now
DirectX® 12
DirectX® 12 is a new, console-like graphics API from Microsoft® that empowers game developers with more direct and obvious control of PC hardware. This direct or explicit control better exposes the hardware resources of AMD Radeon™ GPUs to yield higher hardware throughput and, ultimately, more performance for users. To put it simply: much more efficient hardware through smarter software! At the discretion of a game developer, this superior efficiency can be spent on higher framerates, lower latency (VR), lower power consumption, better image quality, or some calculated balance of all four. In any scenario, gamers stand to benefit greatly from choosing AMD hardware to run their favorite DirectX® 12 game.
