AMD Radeon R9 and R7 Series graphics cards are made for gaming on UltraHD (3840×2160) displays, including support for non-tiled 2160p60 displays with a future AMD Catalyst driver release.

The company is also introducing a new programming interface for the cards, called Mantle, and a programmable audio pipeline with AMD TrueAudio technology.

This era is shaped by ultra-resolution gaming and an exciting new generation of highly-anticipated games like Battlefield 4.
