| Dual Clock Generators for APU |
Non-K Model AMD APUs have a locked multiplier which can severely limit potential overclocking. GIGABYTE FM2 series motherboards are equipped with an additional APU bus frequency generator that allows a much higher clock ceiling, making GIGABYTE FM2 series motherboards the best choice for overclocking and tweaking AMD A-Series APUs. |

Triple Displays with AMD Eyefinity |
|
GIGABYTE FM2 series motherboards are the first to take advantage of AMD Eyefiity technology, allowing users to extend their OS desktop by connecting up to three high-resolution digital displays. Triple displays mean more real-estate for enhanced productivity, plus the ability to enjoy panoramic triple screen 3D gaming thanks to AMD’s optimized Eyefinity technology |
