The significant enhancement, available in an upcoming release, marks a major time-saving milestone for creators and editors.  Attendees at SIGGRAPH in Los Angeles, CA (August 6-10) will receive the first in-person tech previews of lightning-fast render speeds and streamlined workflows.  "Boris FX is thrilled to partner with AMD to usher in a new era of Sapphire performance and creativity," says Boris Yamnitsky, founder and CEO of Boris FX. "The integration of AMD's GPU technology will empower our users to render stunning visual effects at unprecedented speeds. This is a game-changer for filmmakers, video editors, and content creators who rely on our software to bring their visions to life."   Demos are available at the AMD booth (#537) on Tuesday, August 8th, and Wednesday, August 9th, from 10 am - 5 pm PT. An open beta program for Sapphire plugins on AMD GPUs is currently available to artists unable to attend SIGGRAPH. [See full details on how to sign up](https://vfx.borisfx.com/sapphireamd_openbeta).
