    Catalyst 8.1 introduces MultiView support. This feature provides for hardware accelerated OpenGL rendering across multiple graphics adapters. MultiView will provide hardware accelerated 3D rendering in a system containing multiple graphics cards on an extended desktop arrangement. This feature will allow for the rendering performance and additional frame buffer resources to be evenly shared with the second and third graphics adapters. This allows for a 3D application to have the same performance running on a secondary or third display device as if it were running on the primary display device. This feature will be supported under Windows XP (32 and 64 bit versions), Windows Vista (32 and 64 bit versions), and the Linux operating system. Product support includes:

  • ATI Radeon HD 3870 series
  • ATI Radeon X1950 series
  • ATI Radeon HD 3850 series
  • ATI Radeon X1800 series
  • ATI Radeon HD 2900 series
  • ATI Radeon X1650 series

  • ATI Radeon X1600 series
  • ATI Radeon HD 2400 series
  • ATI Radeon X1550 series
