AMD launches HD 7970 GHz |
AMD has launched the world's fastest graphics processing unit (GPU), the AMD Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition, an upgrade to the existing HD 7970. The AMD Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition uses AMD's Graphics Core Next (GCN) architecture to deliver high performance and good image quality, providing gameplay at the highest resolutions in the most demanding games such as Battlefield 3, Deus Ex: Human Revolution and DiRT Showdown. The AMD Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition comes fully equipped with 3GBs of GDDR5 frame buffer, AMD Eyefinity 2.0 technology, and support for PCI Express 3.0 and multi-GPU configurations with AMD CrossFire technology. The AMD Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition will be available as early as next week from add-in board (AIB) partners including ASUS, Gigabyte, HIS, MSI, Sapphire, TUL and XFX starting at USD$499 (Rs.27,500). AMD is going after Nvidia’s GTX 680 which for a while, has been the fastest single-chip graphics card in the market.
