One again the right of AMD! Following the trend of development of the Windows operating system is also a new 7 will use DirectX 11 technology, the new hardware is also required to provide support for these two technologies.
Although the new ATI 4870 ATI launched last year quite successfully complete with NVidia products. With the launch of Windows 7 and Direct!! On October 22 next, of course, AMD does not want to lose start by launching products that are ready to support the new technology with the Radeon 5800 series.
There are 2 types of Radeon HD 5870 and Radeon HD 5850 GPU that uses the same core that previously called Cypress.
These processors have 2:15 billion transistors, which is almost 3 times the number of transistors on Intel's Core i7 CPUs. Radeon 5870 running at 850 MHz clock and the Radeon 5850 at 725 MHz.
Radeon 5870 has 1600 stream processors and capable of promising performance of 2.72 teraflops making the greatest single GPU right now and will be sold at a price around 379 USD (3.7 million dollars). While 5850 has a Radeon 1440 stream processors and priced around 259 USD. Both are equipped with GDDR5 memory and uses 1Gb dual slot design.
Interesting and new is the facility from ATI called Eyefinity which allows the use of 3 monitors at once through just 1 video card. All cards on the 5800 series will have 2 dual-link DVI ports, HDMI and DisplayPort ports extraordinary even the next version is planned Eyefinity will support up to 6 monitors.
