[i] The AMD Radeon HD
8970M is the world’s fastest notebook GPU. In tests by AMD as of 18th, April
2013, the reference AMD RadeonT HD 8970M showed higher average performance than
NVIDIA’s highest performing single GPU mobile graphics card, the GeForce® GTX
680M, in the 3DMark® Fire Strike test with a score of FS4571 vs. FS3749 and in
Crysis 3 (FPS, 1080p at very high quality presets). System configuration:
Intel® CoreT i7-3720QM (2.6GHz), 6GB DDR3-1600 and Windows 7 x64. AMD RadeonT
HD 8970M evaluated with AMD CatalystT 13.10 Beta 4. NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 680M
evaluated with NVIDIA® ForceWareT 307.17 WHQL. GRM-4

[ii] The GCN
Architecture and its associated features (PCI Express® 3.0, AMD EnduroT, AMD
ZeroCore Power technology, etc.) are applicable to select AMD RadeonT HD 7000M
& HD 8000M Series Graphics. Not all technologies are supported in all
system configurations-check with your system manufacturer for specific model
capabilities.

[iii] AMD EnduroT
technology automatically turns off the AMD RadeonT discrete GPU for
non-intensive applications to help maximize battery life for more time
unplugged, and requires either an AMD A-Series APU or an Intel processor, plus
an AMD RadeonT discrete graphics card and is available on Windows® 7 and
Windows® 8 Standard and Professional editions. Linux OS supports manual
switching which requires restart of X-Server to switch between graphics
solutions. With AMD EnduroT technology, full enablement of all discrete
graphics video and display features may not be supported on all systems (e.g.
OpenGL applications will run on the integrated GPU or the APU as the case may
be). Always check with your system manufacturer for specific mode capabilities
and supported technologies.

<a>[iv]</a> AMD Eyefinity
technology works with games that support non-standard aspect ratios, which is
required for panning across multiple displays. To enable more than two
displays, additional panels with native DisplayPortT connectors, and/or
DisplayPortT compliant active adapters to convert your monitor’s native input
to your cards DisplayPortT or Mini-DisplayPortT connector(s), are
required.&nbsp; Support for five simultaneous
displays may require complementary products compatible with DisplayPort 1.2
Multi-Stream Transport. Maximum number of configured displays may vary – check
with your component or system manufacturer for specific model capabilities and
supported technologies.&nbsp; SLS (”Single Large Surface”) functionality requires
an identical display resolution on all configured displays.

<a>[v]</a> AMD App
Acceleration is a set of technologies designed to improve video quality and
enhance application performance. Full enablement of some features requires
support for OpenCLT, DirectCompute or DirectX® Video Acceleration (DXVA). Not
all products have all features and full enablement of some capabilities and may
require complementary products.
