What is the definition of a mixed firefight?

Mixed fire, English name Hybrid CrossFireX is an interpretation of the hybrid graphics hybrid graphics technology, we can plug in the support Hybrid CrossFireX mixed fire of the independent graphics card plug-in support hybrid A hybrid CrossFireX system is built on the CrossFireX's 7-series consolidated motherboard, and when high load operations are required, independent graphics and integrated graphics will work together for optimal display performance, and only integrated graphics can be used when operational requirements are lowered. Coupled with AMD's cool ' n ' quite technology, the entire platform's power consumption will be reduced to the lowest point, which will meet people's demand for rational use of energy.

In the field of graphics technology, "blending" is a new technology concept. From the application value, both Nvidia's mixed SLI and AMD's mixed crossfire have the same effect for the graphics card, which makes the system more efficient, more energy efficient, and quiet application environment. From the perspective of the development direction of graphics technology, both Nvidia's mixed SLI and AMD's mixed exchanges have great market significance.

The so-called mixed SLI (not mixed crossfire, two similar concepts) is the latest proposed by NVIDIA hybrid SLI technology, which allows the motherboard to display chips and graphics interconnect, reduce power and calorific value, so as to achieve quiet PC operation.

In many PC applications, the user does not need high-performance independent GPU, and Nvidia's hybrid SLI technology is precisely owned by this control management function. Combined with the NVIDIA graphics processor (GPU) and SLI multiple GPU technology, the technology has two new technologies built into GeForce boost and Hybridpower. GeForce Boost is responsible for the NVIDIA onboard GPU and Nvidia independent graphics, in 3D games, multimedia applications, GeForce boost can automatically add to the drawing processor operations, improve the execution efficiency of the program and screen update rate; Hybrid Power can provide both "efficient" and "low-power" operating modes.

The high-performance mode is the core of the onboard GPU and the independent video card, which can greatly improve the overall performance of the platform in the large-scale 3D complex operation. For example, in 3D games and image processing software requirements, open efficient mode, the onboard GPU core and independent video card composed of SLI mode, can enhance graphics efficiency, improve efficiency, save time. If the user turns on the low-power operation mode, the Hybrid SLI platform will turn off the independent video card, which can effectively reduce the power consumption and calorific value only with the onboard GPU core running output. This model is not only very useful for individual users, but also helps the owners of Internet cafes to minimize the power consumption of equipment and save a large part of the expenditure.

Composition

Hybrid Graphics Hybrid Graphics technology includes Hybrid CrossFireX mixed exchange of fire technology, Sorroundview long display technology, Powerplay power management technology and powerxpress dual graphics switching technology four parts

Hybrid CrossFireX Mixed Fire Fighting technology

Simply put, Hybrid CrossFireX mixed exchange of fire technology is the use of onboard graphics and external video cards to exchange fire, thereby enhancing performance, for performance, according to the existing data shows that the maximum performance of mixed Crossfire can be improved to about 75%.

Sorroundview Multi-display technology

Not a new technology, which has been seen in the early ATI chipset. Business users are more used than ordinary users. In general, the threshold of four display technology is lowered to create a larger working table or to build a TV wall.

Powerplay Power Management Technology

The energy-saving technology used by AMD's independent graphics card is not unique to hybrid graphics technology. Powerplay Dynamic power management can automatically adjust the frequency according to the graphics load, which can effectively reduce the power consumption of the video card.

Powerxpress dual graphics card switching technology

From the new AMD notebook platform Puma dual graphics switching technology, powerxpress dual graphics switching technology allows users to not restart the computer can also achieve the independent graphics and integrated video card switching. The use of Powerxpress dual graphics switching technology is to extend the laptop battery time, on the desktop platform is to reduce power consumption. According to the 3D load, when the 2D or 3D light load, integrated graphics work, independent video card into hibernation mode. When the 3D load is overloaded, the independent video card begins to work. Nvidia's counterpart technology is hybrid power hybrid technology. The two technologies work essentially the same, but the latter have been the first to release the formal support of the driver, AMD users need to wait for a while.

Power control

With powerxpress dual graphics switching technology, in 2D mode or Light3d mode, computer independent display chip will be screen, only the integrated display core is responsible for the operation, the graphics card will be in a sleep state, so that the power consumption significantly reduced when entering the performance 3D mode, The video card reverts to normal mode without the system reboot. A minimum of 1.2W, and its own maximum function is 20W. In other words, although high-end users can not use the RS780 mixed fire to enhance the display performance, but with high-end graphics, control power consumption, energy saving, is really practical.

AMD released the Catalyst driver package 8.8. Although the new features are not many, it is a great boon for Windows XP users: Not only is there the latest Avivo video technology, but the hybrid firefight (Hybrid Graphics) is no longer a patent for Windows Vista.
