===Hybrid CrossFire / Hybrid CrossFireX / Dual Graphics===
The Hybrid CrossFireX is a technology allowing the IGP, or Integrated Graphics Processor, and the discrete [[Graphics processing unit|GPU]], or Graphics Processing Unit, to form a CrossFire setup to enhance the system capability to render [[3D]] scenes, while the Hybrid CrossFire X technology is present on the 790GX and 890G chipsets, with two supplied physical PCI-E x16 slots at x8 bandwidth,<ref name="HKEPC780G">{{in lang|zh}} [http://www.hkepc.com/?id=734 HKEPC review] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080502144521/http://www.hkepc.com/?id=734 |date=2008-05-02 }}, retrieved January 29, 2008</ref> can form a Hybrid CrossFire X setup with two video cards and the IGP, enhancing the 3D rendering capabilities.<ref name="HKEPC4">{{in lang|zh}} [http://hkepc.com/?id=484 HKEPC report] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071213173723/http://www.hkepc.com/?id=484 |date=2007-12-13 }}: AMD touts Hybrid Crossfire X technology, combining IGP and GPU, available in Q2 2008.

===SurroundView===
SurroundView is a brand/marketing term for the capability to drive [[Multi-monitor|multiple monitors]] as available in the ATI RS480 chipset. At most four monitors with a discrete graphics card can be connected onto the supported video output ports (one through [[Low Voltage Differential Signaling|LVDS]], that is either [[HDMI]] or [[Digital Visual Interface|DVI-D]] port and one [[D-subminiature|D-Sub]] port), in "extended desktop mode" or "clone/mirror/duplicate mode". The integrated graphics processor and the discrete graphics processor work in parallel to drive multiple displays. Therefore, SurroundView is different from Hybrid CrossFireX.
The successor of SurroundView is [[AMD Eyefinity]].
===PowerXpress===
Available on mainstream mobile IGP chipsets (AMD [[AMD mobile platform#Puma platform (2008)|M780G]] and [[AMD mobile platform#Yukon platform (2009)|M690]]), the PowerXpress technology allows seamless switching from integrated graphics (IGP) to discrete graphics on notebooks when the notebook is connected to the [[Alternating current|AC]] power supply for better 3D rendering capabilities, and ''vice versa'' when disconnected from the power supply to increase battery life. The process does not require a system reboot as in the past and some current{{when|date=August 2022}} notebook implementations, and it features a UI within the driver which can profile applications to run on specified GPUs. In addition to that, later GPU models feature an Ultra Low Power Saving (ULPS) state that completely disables the discrete GPU when not in use, thus further saving power. However this feature proved to be buggy when inappropriate drivers are installed.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://community.amd.com/thread/176003 |title=ULPS: How to disable |publisher=Amd.com |date=2014-05-08 |access-date=2019-07-11}}</ref>
Current Linux support of this feature may be complete since Catalyst 11.4 (fglrx driver 8.840 or newer) according to a ''Phoronix'' article.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=OTI3Mg |title=[Phoronix] PowerXpress Support Notebooks Under Linux |publisher=Phoronix.com |date=2011-03-30 |access-date=2012-09-14}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=OTI3MQ |title=[Phoronix] Here's The Special AMD Present For Ubuntu Users |publisher=Phoronix.com |date=2011-03-30 |access-date=2012-09-14}}</ref> X.org currently does not support seamless graphic cards hot-switching without restarting the X server.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=OTIyMQ |title=[Phoronix] Multi-GPU PRIME & GPU Hot-Switching Proposal |publisher=Phoronix.com |date=2011-03-16 |access-date=2012-09-14}}</ref>
