Shader Model 4.1 Technology Get your box geared up for the future of games with blazing fast shader performance and watch your characters sweat with Shader Model 4.1

HDMI Support HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first and only industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. By delivering crystal-clear, all-digital audio and video via a single cable, HDMI dramatically simplifies cabling and helps provide consumers with the highest-quality home theater experience. Built-in HDMI with multi-channel 5.1 surround audio.

Blu-Ray and HD DVD Support Features hardware HD video processing and HDMI with built-in 5.1 surround audio ATI Avivo™ HD technology delivers sharp images and vibrant color fidelity from 1080p playback of Blu-ray™ and HD DVDs movies.

PCI Express 2.0 Support PCI Express Base 2.0 specification doubles the interconnect bit rate from 2.5 GT/s to 5 GT/s in a seamless and compatible manner. The performance boost to 5 GT/s is by far the most important feature of the PCI Express 2.0 specifications. It effectively increases the aggregate bandwidth of a 16-lane link to approximately 16 GB/s. The higher bandwidth will allow product designers to implement narrower interconnect links to achieve high performance.
