Select models support Hybrid Graphics technology to assist a Radeon HD 7350, 7450, 7470, 7550, 7570, 7670 discrete graphics card. [ 30 ] [ 31 ] However, it has been found that this does not always improve 3D accelerated graphics performance.
Support for UVD has been available in AMD's proprietary driver Catalyst version 8.10 since October 2008 through X-Video Motion Compensation (XvMC) or X-Video Bitstream Acceleration (XvBA). [63] [64] Since April 2013, [65] UVD is supported by the free and open-source "radeon" device driver through Video Decode and Presentation API for Unix (VDPAU).
The free and open-source "Radeon" graphics driver supports most of the features implemented into the Radeon line of GPUs. [4] Unlike the nouveau project for Nvidia graphics cards, the open-source "Radeon" drivers are not reverse engineered, but based on documentation released by AMD.
