In today’s advanced world, eyeballing cutting-edge technologies merged with innovative consumer products is quite apprehensible. Now, AMD has revealed that a number of technology partners soon plan to roll out an inexpensive yet effectual Single Link DisplayPort-to-DVI adapter. The addition to the dynamic ATI Eyefinity ecosystem follows pretty soon after the recently proclaimed rise in AMD-powered discrete graphics options for the Apple iMac and Mac Pro.

The company’s powerful discrete graphics sale in the second quarter gives credit to its top-to-bottom line of graphics offering Microsoft DirectX 11 support. Apart from this, AMD has merchandized more than 16 million DirectX 11-capable GPUs in just nine months.

“AMD executed our DirectX 11 transition incredibly well, rolling out a top-to-bottom DirectX 11 product line before our competitor launched their first DirectX 11 part,” stated Matt Skynner, corporate vice-president and general manager, GPU division, AMD. “In just six months, we delivered to customers an entire DirectX 11 product stack, with industry-leading image quality and technologies such as ATI Eyefinity and ATI Stream. In turn, customers shifted discrete GPU market share to AMD.”

The new Single Link DisplayPort-to-DVI adapter now boosts the ATI Eyefinity ecosystem to include the massive number of LCD monitors with DVI connectors and resolutions up to 1920 x 1200. This subsumes the vast majority of monitors sold today, with many models available under $200 (approx. Rs. 9,406) each.

Hopefully, with this announcement, ATI Eyefinity multi-monitor solutions will be made procurable to hardcore gamers and customary users as well.

The new affordable Single Link DisplayPort-to-DVI adapter carries a price of $30 (approx. Rs. 1,411).
