Kaveri APU Dual Graphics matching guide

Set display, single display hybrid dual graphics technology has a long history, and experienced a number of generations, and the only has a set of obvious, unique AMD in this respect has a unique advantage. Now, the new release of the Catalyst 14.1 Beta added to the Kaveri Apu Dual graphics support, together to see how the match, the effect of how.

The Catalyst Control Center can be checked to turn on dual graphics.

Kaveri APU Dual Graphics combination

The table looks a bit complicated, but it's quite regular. First of all, the Kaveri APU product line according to CPU core, frequency is divided into A10, A8, A6, A4 four series, and each series according to the GPU flow processor is divided into 7000, 60,002 Sub series. Dual graphics cards are supported in addition to the A4 of the lowest end.

The top a10-7000 series is recommended with R7 ddr3--The former integrates 512SP, the latter is 384SP, and fits together. As for just released R7 250X (640SP) can also not be confirmed, but not estimated, because it is HD7700 vest, the latter can not be used in dual graphics card.

a8-7000, a6-7000 recommended collocation is R7-ddr3,320sp.

In fact, the AX-7000 series can be used with R7 250/240.

AX-6000 series of Partners are Radeon HD 6000 series of low-end models, including 6670, 6570, 6450, but the specific different, the general principle is low-end with low-end.

It is worth mentioning that the Kaveri Apu used in the GPU architecture is Gcn,radeon HD 6000 series or the old architecture, it can be seen that AMD does have a mixed operation of different architectures.

As for the effect, you have to wait for the actual evaluation, but you can first look at AMD official data, claiming that the maximum can be increased by more than 80% (don't be serious).

In addition, AMD in the dual graphics card also added to the frame smoothing Technology driver optimization, below is the comparison of frame rates captured with the FCAT tool: Light Red is a frame-rendering time without optimization (frame delay), very volatile; deep red is optimized, the delay is greatly reduced and a lot smoother.

However, AMD cautioned that the current driver has not been for boyfriend 3, boyfriend 4 frame smoothing optimization, will be added in subsequent updates.
