The Condor 3000 Series graphics cards are XMC/PMC based products designed for the embedded,
defense and avionics markets. While these cards offer very high performance graphics, they are primarily
designed for GPGPU applications. Products in this series offer outputs, normally through rear I/O
connectors. The output types and formats that are supported depend upon the model. The products come
in several variations: air cooled or conduction cooled and commercial (standard) or rugged. All technical
information is discussed in detail in the Condor 3000 Series Technical Manual

The Condor 3000 Series is based on the AMD E6760 Embedded GPU. The Windows and Linux display
drivers for the product are available for download from AMD’s support side ( discussed in S

additional cost and are beyond the scope of this manual. Please contact Tech Source directly for details
on how to purchase the RTOS driver for your application, project or program.

While Condor series products are commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products, in some instances, products
may be customized to meet the application requirements. In these instances, separate software or
hardware specifications may be provided.

Tech Source also offers some resources for OpenCL programming. A white paper on GPGPU is available
on our website.

The Condor 3000 series is based on the AMD Radeon™ E6760 embedded discrete graphics processor
(GPU). The advanced 3D graphics engine and programmable shader architecture support Microsoft®
DirectX® 11 technology for superior graphics rendering. The third generation unified video decoder
enables dual HD decode of H.264, VC-1, MPEG4 and MPEG2 compressed video streams. Using the
AMD Radeon™ E6760 GPU, designers of casino gaming, arcade and medical imaging systems can
deliver products with a compelling, competitive advantage.

Delivering 576 GFLOPs of peak single precision floating point performance, the AMD Radeon™ E6760
GPU is ideal for general purpose, graphics processing unit (GPGPU) applications such as ultrasound,
radar and video surveillance. Supported by the industry standard OpenCL™ 1.1 programming language,
GPGPU application software development is accelerated with the AMD Stream Software Development Kit
(SDK). The AMD Stream SDK includes developer tools such as compiler, debugger, code profiler and
math libraries.
