XGI Reactor drivers allow the user to adjust a variety of options with the Volari 8300 GPU; these are pretty standard controls that consumers have come to expect with every graphics card. When dual monitors are connected to a Volari 8300 graphics card, the Reactor drivers yield control over multiple desk tops to the user, allow gamma correction adjustments, and can even rotate the desktop 360 degrees.

After loading up the XGI Volari Reactor drivers, users are first greeted by the general display options. Adjustable options include resolution, colour depth and refresh rate. TV-Output options are also available for users who want to connect the computer to the television.

In the Television options users can adjust the tint, brightness and saturation of the picture. There are also options to reduce flicker which definitely makes a difference when watching movies on the TV.
