First Desktop 40nm Graphics Card From AMD

Sunnyvale, California-headquartered Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) Inc has announced the launch of a new desktop graphics card. Called the ATI Radeon HD 4770, this card incorporates the latest 40nm technology.

The latest addition has hardware circuitry that can handle such graphic-intensive games as Battleforge, HAWX, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and the like. The card leverages the superior technology of GDDR5 memory, which translates to higher data rates than was possible, according to the company release.

The card also has the standard features of HDMI, PiP and 7.1 surround sound which are required for cinema-quality home-entertainment.

If they have ATI CrossFireX-ready motherboard, then gamers can add this card as an add-on and make use of the CrossFireX technology to further enhance their gaming performance.

PC Assemblers can, according to the release, couple AMD’s Athlon X2 7850 processor and 7-series chipsets with the latest HD 4770 graphics card to create a desktop PC that will appeal to the lay user in general and to the gaming community and home-entertainment specifically.

Companies such as Emergent have already endorsed the new card by upgrading their gaming software to include features of the card when the software detects its presence.
