ATI Radeon HD Series Unleashed
Techtree News Staff, Jan 23, 2008 1715 hrs ISTThese are amongst the first graphics cards built using 55nm process technology, and deliver display connectivity through integrated DisplayPort.
AMD today announced introduction and availability of the ATI Radeon HD 3400 series (entry-level) and ATI Radeon HD 3600 series (mainstream) of GPUs.
Both series are part of the first family of graphics cards built using 55nm process technology, and deliver display connectivity through DisplayPort integrated into the GPUs. DisplayPort offers twice the bandwidth of DVI, and is poised to deliver low-cost high resolution and bit-depth panels.
With both series of graphics processors, with AMD's unified video decoder (UVD) technology, Blu-ray or HD DVD disc playback can be enjoyed in full HD glory (1080p).
Using built-in support for six channel (5.1) Dolby Digital surround audio transmission through HDMI, immersive home theater environments can be created. The ATI Radeon HD 3450 also supports fully silent (passive) cooling, delivering an ideal solution for home theater PCs.
For gamers looking for graphics processors that allow further scalability, both series boast ATI CrossFire that delivers the option of multi-GPU upgradeability.
Morever, ATI Hybrid Graphics allow users to combine ATI Radeon HD 3400 GPU with a compatible AMD 7-Series chipset to provide exceptional 3D performance as part of AMD's upcoming mainstream high-definition desktop platform.
With support for Microsoft DirectX 10.1, gamers can play top HD games with life-like 3D graphics, stunning realism, and great shading effects.
Full support for PCI Express 2.0 technology allows for twice the throughput of current PCI Express cards.
Both series have already been factored into a significant number of major OEM mainstream and entry-level PCs scheduled to be shipped this year.
The suggested e-tail pricing for the 3400 series is between $49 and $65 while that for the 3600 series is from $79 to $99.
