Key Application Benefits of the E9170<\/span> Series<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Digi\u00adtal casi\u00adno games: Hel\u00adping redu\u00adce ener\u00adgy con\u00adsump\u00adti\u00adon and ope\u00adra\u00adting cos\u00adts, the E9170<\/span> Series GPU<\/span> cuts down on ope\u00adra\u00adting cos\u00adts for ent\u00adry level and midran\u00adge casi\u00adno gam\u00ading sys\u00adtems, as well as lowers ther\u00admal dis\u00adsi\u00adpa\u00adti\u00adon that impacts faci\u00adli\u00adty air con\u00addi\u00adtio\u00adning cos\u00adts. Sup\u00adport for five inde\u00adpen\u00addent and simul\u00adta\u00adneous dis\u00adplays allows com\u00adpa\u00adnies to crea\u00adte an eye-cat\u00adching expe\u00adri\u00adence with more pixels and more action. DirectX\u00ae 12 sup\u00adport enables hig\u00adher frames per second and redu\u00adced laten\u00adcy, and cross-plat\u00adform Vul\u00adkan\u00ae API<\/span> sup\u00adport helps ensu\u00adre bet\u00adter image qua\u00adli\u00adty while decre\u00adasing CPU<\/span> pro\u00adces\u00adsing bottlenecks.<\/li>\n
  • Thin cli\u00adents: Thin cli\u00adents powered by the E9170<\/span> Series GPU<\/span> can have a smal\u00adler hard\u00adware foot\u00adprint than tra\u00addi\u00adtio\u00adnal PC<\/span> sys\u00adtems, and can have lower heat out\u00adput and pro\u00advi\u00adde coo\u00adler workspaces in den\u00adse\u00adly-staf\u00adfed and space-cons\u00adtrai\u00adned envi\u00adron\u00adments such as stock exch\u00adan\u00adge tra\u00adding flo\u00adors. Addi\u00adtio\u00adnal\u00adly, 4K<\/span> gra\u00adphics reso\u00adlu\u00adti\u00adon pro\u00advi\u00addes crisp visu\u00adal cla\u00adri\u00adty when thin cli\u00adents are in split-screen dis\u00adplay mode, impro\u00adving the end-user experience.<\/li>\n
  • Medi\u00adcal dis\u00adplays: The high-per\u00adfor\u00admance 4K<\/span> gra\u00adphics reso\u00adlu\u00adti\u00adon in the E9170<\/span> Series GPU<\/span> helps impro\u00adve the accu\u00adra\u00adcy of cli\u00adni\u00adcal dia\u00adgno\u00adses in X\u2011Ray machi\u00adnes and ultra\u00adsounds as well as with bone tis\u00adsue and ana\u00adly\u00adsis, hel\u00adping medi\u00adcal pro\u00adfes\u00adsio\u00adnals to enhan\u00adce pati\u00adent care.<\/li>\n
  • Retail and digi\u00adtal signage: Cost-con\u00adscious signage com\u00adpa\u00adnies inte\u00adgra\u00adting the E9170<\/span> Series GPU<\/span> can dri\u00adve up to five simul\u00adta\u00adneous 4K<\/span> dis\u00adplays for a stun\u00adning visu\u00adal expe\u00adri\u00adence that holds view\u00ader atten\u00adti\u00adon wit\u00adhout incur\u00adring a pre\u00admi\u00adum pro\u00adces\u00adsor price.<\/li>\n
  • Indus\u00adtri\u00adal: The Rade\u00adon E9170<\/span> Series GPU<\/span> in the relia\u00adble MCM<\/span> for\u00admat enables the sta\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty requi\u00adred for the most strin\u00adgent shock and vibra\u00adti\u00adon tests in envi\u00adron\u00adments such as air\u00adplane cock\u00adpits, in addi\u00adti\u00adon to dri\u00adving mul\u00adti\u00adple displays.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
