With 2GB of GDDR5 memory, engine clock speed up to 945MHz, award-winning Graphics Core Next (GCN) architecture, and DVI-I/DVI-D/HDMI/DisplayPort outputs, the VisionTek Radeon R9 285 is designed to outperform the competition. It enables you to take advantage of 1440p and up to 4K Ultra HD high resolution displays to play the most demanding games at maximum detail better than any card in its class. With support for the DIRECTX® 12 graphics standard, you can elevate your gaming experience with stunning 3D visual effects, realistic lighting, and lifelike imagery. Featuring AMD’s True Audio technology found only on AMD’s top-of-the-line cards, you’ll hear what you’ve been missing in startling realistic surround sound within games.
For peace of mind ownership, the VisionTek R9 285 comes backed by an industry leading lifetime warranty and free lifetime US-based technical support.
Supports Mantle and Microsoft DirectX® 12 API*: Get intense gaming performance and unrivalled image quality with stunning 3D visual effects, realistic lighting and lifelike imagery.
GCN Architecture: Enjoy stellar frame rates in the latest games at high resolutions and quality settings, and more everyday applications benefiting from GPU acceleration.
4K Ultra HD Support: Experience what you’ve been missing even at 1080P! With support for 3840 x 2160 output via the HDMI port, textures and other detail normally compressed for lower resolutions can now be shown in full pixels per inch of screen definition.
Advanced GDDR5 Memory Technology: The highest memory bandwidth available today enables higher GPU performance.
PCI Express 3.0: Get the maximum performance from your GPU when paired with the latest platforms.
Eyefinty Technology: Run multiple displays from a single graphics board and expand your gaming field of view across all displays.
AMD TrueAudio Technology: A dedicated audio processor delivers true to life echoes, convolution reverbs and fuller sounding environments.
AMD App Acceleration: Creates a “co-processing” environment in which the compute processing potential in your AMD Radeon™ Graphics processor works together with the system central processor, to accelerate enabled applications.
AMD CrossFire™ Technology: Double up your GPUs to enjoy an instant hit of extra graphics performance. Keep your options open with future upgrade possibilities.
AMD HD3D Technology: Supports the latest stereoscopic 3D content and display technologies. Play 3D games, watch Blu-ray 3D videos, and edit 3D photos on your 3D Monitors, TV, or projector.
AMD HD Media Accelerator: Assumes rendering responsibility for HD encode (VCE)/decode (MPEG-4 ASP, H.264. MVC, MPEG2, etc.) and conclusively enable superior video playback quality with advanced hardware post-processing algorithms.
AMD PowerPlay™ Technology: Dynamically adjusts clockspeeds in response to GPU load, saving power for just when you need it.
AMD PowerTune Technology: Maximizes performance under load conditions by dynamically increasing the GPU engine clock to take advantage of unused TDP headroom. Also allows users to configure their own TDP limit, within a provided range, for even higher performance or more power efficiency.
AMD ZeroCore Power: Allows the GPU to consume virtually no power when in idle state. When used in a CrossFire configuration, it shuts down additional GPUs when they’re not in use.
Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio™: Support of content protected, high bandwidth, 7.1 channels of surround sound over HDMI and DisplayPort.
*Based on preliminary DirectX 12 specifications as of July, 2014, AMD’s GCN-based products are expected to support DirectX 12 upon its release. The DirectX 12 specification and support for it are subject to change without notice.
