The First of the Graphics Processors
The new Radeon HP 5870 Graphics Processor is the first ever card to average over 30fps. The figures should be enough to tell you that it is able to deliver playable frame rates at full HD resolutions. The vivid pictures make gaming more real and dramatic because you’ll feel that you’re actually a part of the game itself. The real-time visuals powered by a Radeon means that you have all that you need to make the experience unforgettable.
Radeon works well with Microsoft’s DirectX 11 version. AMD has definitely unleashed a further boost to its performance by as much as 25 to 30 percent. That’s quite a big leap from all its predecessors. It is the greatest graphics product because of all the new improvements installed in it. First off, the new line of DirectX11 based GPUs come with the Eyefinity technology. What this does is double the quality of everything in it.
The additional hardware that is needed to meet the DirectX 11 specifications makes the chip all very powerful when it comes to your gaming. The said Eyefinity and angle independent anisotropic filtering is packed into the system. Plus, there’s the decrease in your power consumption. The lower idle power usage and fabricated on TSMC’s 40nm process is anything but disappointing. The 5870 features 1600 stream processors divided among 20 SIMDs, 80 texture units, and 32 ROPs, with 1GB of GDDR5 on-board connected to a 256bit memory bus. It is clocked at 850MHz and 1.2GHz for the memory. The maximum computation performance of 2.72 teraflops is something that you can boast of.
