The Radeon HD 8730 OEM was a graphics card by AMD, launched on September 5th, 2013. Built on the 28 nm process, and based on the Cape Verde graphics processor, in its Cape Verde LE variant, the card supports DirectX 12. Even though it supports DirectX 12, the feature level is only 11_1, which can be problematic with newer DirectX 12 titles. The Cape Verde graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 123 mm² and 1,500 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition, which uses the same GPU but has all 640 shaders enabled, AMD has disabled some shading units on the Radeon HD 8730 OEM to reach the product's target shader count. It features 384 shading units, 24 texture mapping units, and 8 ROPs. AMD has paired 1,024 MB GDDR5 memory with the Radeon HD 8730 OEM, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 800 MHz, memory is running at 1125 MHz (4.5 Gbps effective).
Being a single-slot card, the AMD Radeon HD 8730 OEM does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 47 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 1x HDMI 1.4a, 1x DisplayPort 1.2. Radeon HD 8730 OEM is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 3.0 x16 interface.
