Video acceleration īoth of AMD's SIP cores for video acceleration, Video Coding Engine as well as Unified Video Decoder, are supported by AMD Radeon Software.ĪMD strives at packaging its software for Linux on its own, not relying solely on Linux distributions.

īefore Eyefinity, there was the Windows-only software "HydraVision" (originally acquired from Appian Graphics complete with its development team), a desktop/screen management software mostly providing multi-monitor and virtual-screen management. In both Fit and Expand modes, AMD is compensating for the mismatched resolutions by creating a virtual desktop that is of a different resolution from those of the monitors, and then either padding it out or cropping it as necessary. This feature is made possible through the addition of two new Eyefinity display modes, Fit and Expand, which join the traditional Fill mode. The current version may, however, disable any additional display mode and change to a resolution in the one mode available. Starting in Catalyst 14.6 AMD has enabled mixed-resolution support, allowing for a single Eyefinity display group to be created where each monitor runs at a different resolution. AMD FirePro product line for professionals who require certified OpenGL support.AMD FireMV product line for multi-monitor setups ( deprecated by AMD Eyefinity being available on all consumer products).AMD FireStream product line for GPGPU in supercomputers and such.The following product lines are probably not supported by the AMD Radeon Software, but instead by some other software, which (for example) is OpenGL-certified: The device driver also supports AMD TrueAudio, a SIP block to perform sound-related calculations.ĪMD Radeon Software supports the following AMD (and ATI-tradition) product lines targeted at rendering: Besides instruction code targeted at rendering, this includes display controllers as well as their SIP blocks for video decoding ( Unified Video Decoder (UVD)) and video encoding ( Video Coding Engine (VCE)). AMD ceased providing 32-bit versions in October 2018.ĪMD Radeon Software is targeted to support all function blocks present on a GPU's or an APU's die.

The software was previously known as AMD Radeon Settings, AMD Catalyst, and ATI Catalyst. Captured video and screenshot management.Radeon Software includes the following feature set: 3.4.1 Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA).
