The AMD Radeon R5/R7/R9 200 serial is a family of GPUs developed by AMD. These GPUs are manufactured on a 28 nm Gate-Final process through TSMC or Common Platform Alliance.^[9]

Release [edit]

The Rx 200 serial was announced on September 25, 2013, at the AMD GPU14 Tech Day event.^[10] Not-disclosure agreements were lifted on October xv, except for the R9 290X, and pre-orders opened on October three.^[eleven]

Architecture [edit]

• Graphics Core Adjacent 3 (Volcanic Islands) is found on the R9 285 (Tonga Pro) branded products.
• Graphics Core Side by side 2 (Body of water Islands) is found on R7 260 (Bonaire), R7 260X (Bonaire XTX), R9 290 (Hawaii Pro), R9 290X (Hawaii XT), and R9 295X2 (Vesuvius) branded products.
• Graphics Core Side by side 1 (Southern Islands) is found on R9 270, 270X, 280, 280X, R7 240, 250, 250X, 265, and R5 240 branded products.
• TeraScale 2 (VLIW5) (Northern Islands or Evergreen) is found on R5 235X and beneath branded products.
• OpenGL 4.10 compliance requires supporting FP64 shaders. These are implemented by emulation on some TeraScale (microarchitecture) GPUs.
• Vulkan 1.0 requires GCN-Architecture. Vulkan 1.ane requires GCN 2 or higher.^[12]

Multi-monitor support [edit]

The AMD Eyefinity-branded on-dice display controllers were introduced in September 2009 in the Radeon HD 5000 Series and have been present in all products since.^[xiii]

AMD TrueAudio [edit]

AMD TrueAudio was introduced with the AMD Radeon Rx 200 Series, simply can only be found on the dies of GCN 2/3 products.

Video acceleration [edit]

AMD's SIP core for video dispatch, Unified Video Decoder and Video Coding Engine, are institute on all GPUs and supported by AMD Catalyst and past the free and open-source graphics device driver.

Use in cryptocurrency mining [edit]

During 2014 the Radeon R9 200 series GPUs offered a very competitive price for usage in cryptocurrency mining. This led to limited supply and huge price increases of upward to 164% over the MSRP in Q4 of 2013 and Q1 of 2014.^{[14] [15]} Since Q2 of 2018 availability of AMD GPUs as well every bit pricing has, in almost cases, returned to normal.

CrossFire Compatibility [edit]

Because many of the products in the range are rebadged versions of Radeon Hard disk drive products, they remain compatible with the original versions when used in CrossFire style. For example, the Radeon Hard disk 7770 and Radeon R7 250X both use the 'Cape verde XT' chip so take identical specifications and will work in CrossFire mode. This provides a useful upgrade option for anyone who owns an existing Radeon Hard disk menu and has a CrossFire uniform motherboard.

Virtual super resolution support [edit]

Starting with the driver release candidate version v14.501-141112a-177751E, officially named as Catalyst Omega, AMD'south driver release introduced VSR on the R9 285 and R9 290 serial graphics cards. This feature allows users to run games with higher prototype quality by rendering frames at above native resolution. Each frame is and so downsampled to native resolution. This process is an alternative to supersampling which is not supported past all games. Virtual super resolution is similar to Dynamic Super Resolution, a feature bachelor on competing nVidia graphics cards, just trades flexibility for increased functioning.^{[16] [17]} VSR tin run at a resolution upwards of 2048 10 1536 at a 120 Hz refresh charge per unit or 3840 x 2400 at 60 Hz.^[18]

OpenCL (API) [edit]

OpenCL accelerates many scientific Software Packages against CPU upward to cistron 10 or 100 and more. Open CL one.0 to one.ii are supported for all Chips with Terascale and GCN Compages. OpenCL 2.0 is supported with GCN second Gen. (or 1.2) and higher.^[19] For OpenCL 2.1 and 2.2 only Driver Updates are necessary with OpenCL two.0 conformant Cards.

Vulkan (API) [edit]

API Vulkan 1.0 is supported for all GCN architecture cards. Vulkan 1.2 requires GCN 2nd gen or college with the Adrenalin 20.1 and Linux Mesa 20.0 drivers and newer.

Desktop models [edit]

Radeon R9 295X2 [edit]

The Radeon R9 295X2 was released on April 21, 2014. Information technology is a dual GPU card. Press samples were shipped in a metal example. It is the first reference bill of fare to utilize a airtight looped liquid libation.^{[20] [21]} At 11.5 teraflops of computing power, the R9 295X2 was the near powerful dual-gpu consumer-oriented carte du jour in the world, until it was succeeded by the Radeon Pro Duo on April 26, 2016, which is substantially a combination of two R9 Fury Ten (Fiji XT) GPUs on a single bill of fare.^[twenty] The R9 295x2 has essentially ii R9 290x (Hawaii XT) GPUs each with 4GB GDDR5 VRAM.^[20]

Radeon R9 290X [edit]

The Radeon R9 290X, codename "Hawaii XT", was released on October 24, 2013 and features 2816 Stream Processors, 176 TMUs, 64 ROPs, 512-bit wide buses, 44 CUs (compute units) and viii ACE units. The R9 290X had a launch price of $549.

Radeon R9 290 [edit]

The Radeon R9 290 and R9 290X were announced on September 25, 2013.^{[22] [23]} The R9 290 is based on AMD's Hawaii Pro chip and R9 290X on Hawaii XT. R9 290 and R9 290X will support AMD TrueAudio, Mantle, Direct3D 11.2, and span-costless Crossfire technology using XDMA.

With a launch price of $139, information technology is based on the Bonaire XTX bit, a faster iteration of Bonaire XT that the Radeon HD 7790 is based on. It will have 2 GB of GDDR5 memory every bit standard and will likewise characteristic TrueAudio, on-fleck audio DSP based on Tensilica HiFi EP architecture. The stock bill of fare features a boost clock of 1100 MHz. It has 2 GBs of GDDR5 memory with a half-dozen.v GHz memory clock over a 128-flake Interface. The 260X will depict around 115 W in typical use.^{[26] [27]}

Radeon R7 250 [edit]

Radeon R7 250 was announced on September 25, 2013. It has a launch price of $89.^[26] The bill of fare is based on the Oland core with 384 GCN cores. On February ten, 2014, AMD announced the R7 250X which is based on the Cape verde GPU with 640 GCN cores and an MSRP of $99.^[28]

1. ^ The Radeon 100 Series has programmable pixel shaders, but do not fully comply with DirectX viii or Pixel Shader 1.0. See article on R100'south pixel shaders.
2. ^ R300, R400 and R500 based cards do not fully comply with OpenGL ii+ every bit the hardware does not support all types of not-power of two (NPOT) textures.
3. ^ OpenGL four+ compliance requires supporting FP64 shaders and these are emulated on some TeraScale chips using 32-fleck hardware.
4. ^ ^{a b c} The UVD and VCE were replaced by the Video Core Side by side (VCN) ASIC in the Raven Ridge APU implementation of Vega.
5. ^ Video processing ASIC for video frame charge per unit interpolation technique. In Windows it works every bit a DirectShow filter in your player. In Linux, in that location is no support on the part of drivers and / or customs.
6. ^ ^{a b} To play protected video content, it also requires card, operating organization, commuter, and awarding back up. A compatible HDCP brandish is also needed for this. HDCP is mandatory for the output of certain audio formats, placing boosted constraints on the multimedia setup.
7. ^ More than displays may be supported with native DisplayPort connections, or splitting the maximum resolution betwixt multiple monitors with active converters.
8. ^ ^{a b} DRM (Direct Rendering Director) is a component of the Linux kernel. AMDgpu is the Linux kernel module. Back up in this table refers to the near current version.

Graphics device drivers [edit]

AMD's proprietary graphics device driver "Catalyst" [edit]

AMD Catalyst is being developed for Microsoft Windows and Linux. Equally of July 2014, other operating system are not officially supported. This may be different for the AMD FirePro brand, which is based on identical hardware but features OpenGL-certified graphics device drivers.

AMD Catalyst supports of course all features advertised for the Radeon brand.

Free and open up-source graphics device driver "Radeon" [edit]

The free and open up-source drivers are primarily developed on Linux and for Linux, merely accept been ported to other operating systems as well. Each driver is equanimous out of five parts:

1. Linux kernel component DRM
2. Linux kernel component KMS commuter: basically the device driver for the display controller
3. user-infinite component libDRM
4. user-space component in Mesa 3D;
5. a special and singled-out 2D graphics device driver for X.Org Server, which if finally most to be replaced by Glamor

The free and open-source "Radeon" graphics driver supports nearly of the features implemented into the Radeon line of GPUs.^[6] Unlike the nouveau project for Nvidia graphics cards, the open-source "Radeon" drivers are not reverse engineered, simply based on documentation released by AMD.^[56]
