In fact the SAPPHIRE NITRO R7 360 has all the features of high end models based on AMD GCN, including AMD TrueAudio technology for the most realistic sound reproduction, as well as AMD Image quality enhancement, AMD HD Media accelerator and AMD PowerTune for optimum performance and even support for AMD VSR (Virtual Super Resolution) and FRTC (Frame Rate Target Control).
