The '''ATI Hybrid Graphics technology''', is a collective brand from [[Advanced Micro Devices|AMD]] for its [[Radeon]] line of discrete and integrated [[Graphics Processing Unit|GPU]], promoting higher performance and productivity while saving energy consumption in GPUs. The technology previously applied to selected chipsets of the [[AMD 700 chipset series]] and [[AMD 800 chipset series]] only. The ATI Hybrid Graphics technology was announced on January 23, 2008 with [[Radeon R600#Radeon HD 2400|Radeon HD 2400 series]] and [[Radeon R600#Radeon HD 3400|Radeon HD 3400 series]] video cards supporting hybrid graphics functionality. Originally, ATI announced this feature would only be supported in Vista, but in August 2008 they included support in their Windows XP drivers as well.<ref>{{cite web|last=Hruska |first=Joel |url=http://arstechnica.com/hardware/news/2008/08/ati-cat-8-8-drivers-include-hybrid-graphics-in-windows-xp.ars |title=ATI Cat 8.8 drivers include Hybrid Graphics in Windows XP |publisher=Ars Technica |date=2008-08-22 |accessdate=2012-09-14}}</ref> The architecture has been patented by ATI.<ref>{{patent|US|2006282604|"Methods and apparatus for processing graphics data using multiple processing circuits." filed on May 27, 2005}}</ref>

===Hybrid CrossFire / Hybrid CrossFireX / Dual Graphics===
The Hybrid CrossFireX is a technology allowing the IGP, or Integrated Graphics Processor, and the discrete 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">{{zh icon}} [http://www.hkepc.com/?id=734 HKEPC review], 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">{{zh icon}} [http://hkepc.com/?id=484 HKEPC report]: AMD touts Hybrid Crossfire X technology, combining IGP and GPU, available in Q2 2008.

===SurroundView===
The SurroundView technology is a multi-display technology available from the ATI RS480 Chipset. This technology supports the connection of multiple monitors. 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 DVI-D port and one [[D-subminiature|D-Sub]] port), in "extended desktop mode" or "duplicate mode", for better desktop utilization and to provide more flexibility. The integrated graphics processor and the discrete graphics processor work in parallel to drive multiple displays. Therefore, it is different from Hybrid CrossFireX.
