HDX 3D Pro Requirements and known limitations of the HP Moonshot with AMD APU technology
issue | edition / limitation Description | solution / Notes |
screen resolution | only standard screen resolutions are recommended (eg 1080p and 720p). Standard refers to resolutions listed by Windows in the Screen Resolution window. If you are using 7.1 or 7.5, you can use the AMD utility tool that is provided for your convenience, but is not officially supported by AMD. Users can create custom resolutions with this tool. For XenDesktop 7.6 users natively custom resolutions AMD Utility tool supports without using. | XenDesktop 7.1 and 7.5 users will use require use of their desktop session AMD. Users need to HDX 3D Pro session, you run to connect the utility, and then reconnect disconnect to use the new custom resolution. |
monitor support | single monitor available at this time for HDX 3D Pro. This was only the new AMD driver and XenDesktop 7.6 HDX 3D Pro VDA. | Requires new AMD Catalyst package 14.301.1001-140915a-176768C-HP-WHQL.exe |
OpenGL Resolution changes | applications or OpenGL use DirectX, try to change the screen resolution while it is in the full-screen mode do not. This behavior, which typically with games and not business and productivity applications. | full-screen applications are not supported at this time with AMD GPUs |
Aero Support | Aero visual effects not supported on Windows 7 and can affect a high CPU performance. | FAQ, see |
