Today AMD introduced the ATI Radeon HDTM 2000 series video card. The 2000 series is a top-to-bottom line of ten discrete graphics processors (GPUs) for both desktop and mobile platforms.
The 2000 series promises to deliver The Ultimate Visual Experience through best-in-class immersive high-definition gaming and high-definition multimedia playback.
"We set out to create a family of products that would revolutionize the graphics market by introducing leading-edge technology at game-changing price points," said Rick Bergman, senior vice president, AMD Graphics Products Group. "We've delivered on this challenge, broadening the enthusiast gaming market so that more people than ever before have access to the phenomenal gaming and multimedia experiences that the ATI Radeon HD 2000 series introduces."
The ATI Radeon 2000 series will deliver DirectX 10 gaming at an affordable price point.
The line-up boasts many firsts for the graphics industry, including a powerful second-generation Unified Shader Architecture (USA), a 512-bit memory bus designed for full performance high dynamic range (HDR) rendering, and new Unified Video Decoder (UVD) technology for high-fidelity HD multimedia playback.1 The mid-range and entry-level GPUs are the first graphics products in the industry to use an energy-efficient 65 nm process technology to achieve silent, passive cooling, high performance and lower power consumption.2 The ATI Radeon HD 2000 series also builds on AMD's Windows Vista(tm) leadership. Having been the first graphics company to introduce a WHQL driver for Windows Vista, ATI Catalyst(tm) drivers continue to deliver industry-leading game compatibility and an extremely stable user experience in Windows Vista.
In addition to gaming the ATI RadeonT HD 2000 will deliver high-definition multimedia experience on the PC with improved visual fidelity afforded by ATI Avivo(tm) HD technology. Innovative UVD technology handles HD multimedia with ease, allowing consumers to watch the latest HD DVD and Blu-rayTM discs with incredibly fine image quality and smooth playback, all while consuming less power. With the energy efficiency of UVD technology combined with a 65nm process, the ATI Mobility Radeon(tm) HD 2000 series allows notebook users to view an entire HD DVD or Blu-rayTM disc on a single battery.3 Unique in the industry, the ATI Radeon HD 2000 series are the only discrete graphics products that offer a new simplified video and sound solution through HDMI, making it easy to switch between watching content on a high definition television and working at a monitor as only a single cable is needed for both video and audio.4 "The ATI Radeon HD family of mobile processors satisfies the market's demand for both desktop-class processing performance and smooth multimedia performance on the go," said Manuel Linnig, Customer Marketing Division, Toshiba Europe GmbH. "With great stability and performance in Windows VistaTM, tremendous power management technology and leading gaming capabilities, these graphics processors will be exciting additions to Toshiba's next-generation PCs."
The video cards will be available now starting at $399.
