Axle's HD 5970 delivers ultra high-end performance and a large capacity for overclocking

Written by IT News on 7:12 AM

Although it came later than the official launch of AMD's Radeon HD 5970 graphics card, Axis version seems to have been waiting for the high-end performance as the powerful Axis HD 5970th Can reach almost unprecedented computing speed, even the most demanding tasks and computer games in the current IT market is hardly a challenge for this video card.

The graphics card is built with two RV870 graphics processors (GPUs), have not less than 2GB GDDR5 memory with a bandwidth of 512 bits and uses the top-end 3200 stream processing units. In total, the processing power is said that more than four teraflops, with only the basic settings, while the great potential for overclocking, the speed increase at higher altitudes.

The video board is fully DirectX 11 and combines the unique properties of HDR Texture Compression Direct Compute and coverage. This dramatically improves all aspects of gaming experience, complemented by Ati-Stream technology, which even the newest games run better and faster at high frame rate. In addition, the map uses the most up-to-date Ati-Eyefinity technology for triple-display setups enable users to fully immerse into the virtual world of media files or games they play.

HD playback is also taken to new heights. The card has an integrated ATI Avivo technology, which makes high-definition Blu-ray video playback and vivid even normal.

Finally, games and HD media playback by far the only use of this card, however. Eyefinity is perfect for watching the application screens simultaneously, and excellent application actively helped by the fact that the overall system performance improved by disposing of data from the CPU to the GPU. This allows any CPU-heavy programs running simultaneously, and ATI PowerPlay technology automatically adjusts the power depending on the GPU business.

ATI preps release of the Radeon HD 5750

Written by IT News on 4:08 AM

AMD finally announced the official debut of the new generation of Radeon graphics cards announced, users can begin to upgrade their computers with the latest solutions. The two high-end cards, Radeon HD 5870 and HD 5950, primarily intended for high-end segment, where users have much more to pump in extra pay

performance. Fortunately, planned for AMD unveiled a few new maps, including a low profile GeForce 5750, which just have a look on the Internet.

Based on the same GPU architecture that AMD's recently announced Radeon HD 58xx series, the new HD5750 graphics card will boast Juniper 40nm graphics processors and provides users with a performance comparable to their own card HD4850 AMD HD4770 or NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250's. But this card will concentrate on the open market, so that users with an affordable alternative to high-end, Cypress-based Radeon HD 5870 and HD 5850 GPUs.

There is not much information available at this time, but the guys over at mymypc.com was lucky to get their hands on a couple of pictures and some features. The card is under home, equipped with 1120 stream processing units. The clock frequency is estimated at 700MH of stream processors and 4600MHz for the 128-bit memory GGDR5.

What that means a card that can deliver up to 73.6GB / s bandwidth and 1.57 TFLOPS to calculate results. What is really interesting is that the upcoming Radeon HD 5750 will be priced between £ 110-120, making it a remarkable alternative to AMD's latest family of GPUs desktops. Unfortunately we have no information on the official debut of the price for that matter.

The new RV710- and RV730-based cards could arrive as soon as September

Written by IT News on 10:10 AM

No one can really say that AMD is doing well that all these days, but as long as its graphics business is concerned, things seem to be shaping the way the Sunnyvale-based company wants them. And this is mostly because for the first time in years, ATI, AMD subsidiary of graphics was able to make cards that can compete with NVIDIA GeForce cards. To think about it, the future Radeon cards will continue this new trend, only about inclusion and entry-level markets.

In RV770-based graphics card series we see today will soon receive several new additions that will be targeted at high-end users. Word in the industry is that the new card, based on RV710 and RV730 chips, which we said a few things in the past, will arrive at least two months before schedule. This ultimately means that AMD will gain greater market share from NVIDIA, if in Santa Clara-based chip manufacturer fails to release it new card, just in time.

In recent rumors AMD certainly put in a favorable light, especially after the Christmas holidays are drawing near, which means that AMD will gain a greater share of PIE - that is, from shopping frenzy around the holidays. But even so, while the new chips arrive, we can not say for sure whether they will be able to compete with NVIDIA current offer. In NVIDIA GeForce 9500GT is the only weapon against RV710, but the upcoming 9800GT can be made for this purpose.

In other news, rumors of a replacement for AMD HD 3000 series with the HD 4000 - branded cards are still gaining speed. According to the website of Fudzilla, AMD does not happen just to rename the old HD 3000 cards and will completely replace them with new RV710 chips and RV730. Apparently, AMD does not want to do the same as NVIDIA, which is known for releasing the re-branded versions of the GeForce 8, and 9 GeForce cards.

ATI, Low price but High quality GPUs

Written by IT News on 3:55 AM

The latest developments of graphics card market should be generalized, since consumers can now enjoy lower prices for high-end video boards. The events behind this state of facts probably are known by most of you, but necessary review. As a result of price declines came in the form of war between two of the biggest players in the market, AMD / ATI and NVIDIA, and we have already mentioned a few rounds of this battle.

The truth is that consumers, or ATI and NVIDIA enthusiasts, fans must thank all AMD for the release of his at-4800-series graphics cards. Based in Santa Clara County, California is the leading developer of the market for some time now, but these latest versions have shaken him slightly. AMD not only new cards can be proved better players in implementation, but small price to be presented to the market NVIDIA forced to drastically lower, as well as their own. Thus, we can now buy the next main NVIDIA GPUs based on several hundred less.

ATI in 4850 and 4870 makes it possible to have the main card for prices lower than those functions of today's gaming consoles. At least that has given an explanation ATI to reduce the prices down. Although high-end graphics of GPUs prices are $ 600 +, now they are $ 400 for game consoles. This is good for games. As the number of people who have the card in a position to rise, game developers will probably be pushing their engines and graphics, and this is another profit.

Until now developers are put on the market, only very few high-end games available for those who could afford such a graphics card. ATI in 4850 and 4870 have brought a change in the price of execution field and opens the way for developers to design more elite games, as many now performing GPUs benefit from these depressed prices.

To see how the offering price for these GPUs will appear. Radeon HD 4870 video card can be purchased online from 6 different owners at prices between $ 299.99 and $ 330.24. GeForce 9600GT video card (512MB, PCI Express 2,0 x16, dual DVI) is 13 sellers and prices range from $ 148.00 to $ 222.19. GeForce 8800GT video card (512MB, PCI Express x16, dual DVI) ranged between $ 169.99 and $ 249.99, 12 owners. Finally, N9800GTX-T2D512OC Geforce 9800GTX 512MB Overclocked are listed in seven sellers for $ 298.99 to $ 340.69.

AMD Live with Catalyst 8.3

Written by IT News on 5:40 AM

AMD will today publish his side of Catalyst 8.3 driver software package, the first officer shot and killed in his video technologies already existing CrossFireX quad-GPU-and three support for Windows Vista and the new technology Hybrid Graphics.

The company already has its 780G chipset, the cornerstone of the company, "Puma" and "Wheel Cart" platforms. During the CeBIT launch, the company representative said
What the new driver package will be officially use the energy CrossFireX multiple connections and allows the company Hybrid Graphics technology.

"AMD packed ATI Catalyst 8.3 with a double-barreled set of leading technologies to simultaneously push the ultimate visual experience to new heights and to a wider population of PC users," said Rick Bergman, senior vice president of AMD's Graphics Product Group, in a statement. "We deliver industry firsts that make a visible difference to PC users, whether it's CrossFireX and the first ever quad-GPU performance on Windows Vista, or ATI Hybrid Graphics that bring a new level of performance to mainstream PC platforms."

The graphics and the divisions in x86 Advanced Micro Devices were closely with employers to secure the release of products able to compete with Intel and Nvidia in the CPU, graphics and enterprises, respectively. Currently, AMD is the competition between the two manufacturers of chips while simultaneously providing the next generation of x86 processors from Intel to lower prices, and the high-end chip sets, such as Nvidia.

Hybrid Graphics is a different story. The new technology allows the producer of chips to compete with Intel and Nvidia in the same market. The hybrid technology graphics based on the fact that the CPU can be in a tense relationship with the graphics card to the second volume of additional work.

At the moment, the hybrid technology is required, the graphics, a 780G AMD-based motherboard and a graphics card ATI Radeon 3400 series HD graphics card on a system. The new architecture offers impressive performance in the magnitude of 70 percent.

On the other hand, this is purely CrossFireX hardcore IT graphics. This is that the Radeon 3850 graphics card HD, HD Radeon 3870 or ATI Radeon 3870 X2 HD with multiple units can provide to double or triple their output. Recent tests show that support for AMD's Crossfire graphics cards, even if the connections are not identical cards.

The version 8.3 of the Catalyst driver package brings 10.1 DirectX first time all support for the ATI Radeon 3000-series HD, and tessellation support for the HD ATI Radeon 3800 series. In addition, the users that their computers to widescreen displays, are in a position to enable the acceleration GPU-scaling to maintain their appearance and the quality of the images.

Until the Catalyst 8.3 finally arrived in the scene, enjoy the last trial rider, currently for the download to Softpedia. The ATI Catalyst 8471 (sample Driver) was successfully from AMD at the CeBIT demonstration yesterday, directly affected by our editors at the event.
