#Ati radeon hd 3400 series replacement card driver#
The new Catalyst driver will also enable the following features, according to AMD: Any user armed with the driver and multiple Radeon HD 3850, Radeon HD 3870 or ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 cards can link them together, providing multiples of graphics performance versus the discrete cards. Right now, users need both an AMD 780G motherboard and ATI Radeon HD 3400 series graphics card to enable the technology, which AMD says can offer up to a 70 percent performance boost.ĬrossFireX, meanwhile, is about pure performance. The premise behind hybrid graphics is that the CPU and the exsiting graphics card should work together, offloading some of the rendering work onto the other device. The hybrid graphics technology allows AMD to challenge both companies. In the chipset space, AMD competes against both, offering both high-end chipsets to challenge Nvidia, as well as lower-cost, more integrated offerings to provide its own Athlon-based platform to rival Intel’s Core 2 products. The combination of AMD’s ATI graphics division and AMD’s CPU division means that AMD often fights a two-front war, directly competing against Intel in the CPU business as well as Nvidia in graphics. “We deliver industry firsts that make a visible difference to PC users, whether it’s CrossFireX and the first ever quad-GPU performance on Windows Vista, or ATI Hybrid Graphics that bring a new level of performance to mainstream PC platforms.” “AMD packed ATI Catalyst 8.3 with a double-barreled set of leading technologies to simultaneously push the ultimate visual experience to new heights and to a wider population of PC users,” said Rick Bergman, senior vice president of AMD’s Graphics Product Group, in a statement.
