All about AMD XGP Docking Stations

AMD XGP Technology provides enthusiast-class graphics performance to notebooks through the use of an AMD XGP docking station.

When an AMD XGP docking station is connected to a system, the graphics processors in the docking station become available for external or accelerated graphics rendering. Use the AMD XGP Docking Station page to configure it according to your needs:

  • Allow additional displays for your system—Provides support for even more displays through the display connections on the AMD XGP docking station.
  • Accelerate the performance of notebook displays—Provides enthusiast-class graphics performance to notebook displays and other displays that are connected directly to your system. When this option is selected, all graphics processing and rendering responsibilities are delegated to the AMD XGP docking station. All graphics processors (integrated and/or discrete) in your system and all displays connected to the AMD XGP module are automatically disabled.

AMD XGP docking stations must be connected to a system using an AMD XGP cable.
