Five new AMD cards from ASUS

ASUS has announced its A88X-PRO, A88X-PLUS, A88XM-PLUS, A55BM-PLUS and A55BM-E motherboards for AMD Socket FM2 + APUs (Accelerated Processing Units).

The new motherboards are also capable of handling AMD's state-of-the-art Kaveri APUs, which are already Microsoft® DirectX 11.1 compliant to ensure seamless graphics, and include native PCI Express 3.0 support for full-speed expandability.

Using Socket FM2 + APUs, the new ASUS motherboards now natively support 4K resolution on their HDMI and DisplayPort connectors, allowing the use of ultra-high resolution (UHD) displays.

The new motherboards also benefit from ASUS GPU Boost technology, which can increase the performance of the integrated graphics controller by up to 30 percent, even for non-Black Edition APUs.
