AMD Radeon™ HD 7970

Please note the naming scheme for the AMD Radeon™ HD 7000 Series GPUs.

We do not use suffix modifiers e.g. XT, PRO, GT, and have moved to a numbering sequence that makes it easy for consumers to identify products and their general ranking of performance.

Typically, the highest performing product in a family has a ―‖70‖ in the number and the midrange uses ―‖50‖. If an entry level part exists, it will have a ―‖30‖.

In order to better enable our customers to market and sell our products, we have developed a new format for product line

listings to call attention to key features that give our products a competitive advantage. This is to be used for any product listings, including e-tail, price lists and product catalogues.

The AMD Radeon™ HD 7XXX GPUs offer support for AMD Eyefinity technology, DirectX® 11 and AMD App Acceleration and we

want to communicate and highlight these very important advantages at every opportunity


AIB Packaging: Required Visuals
