ATI Officially Launches Radeon X1000 Family

ATI Technologies Inc. today launched a new family of graphics processors (GPUs), the Radeon X1000 family, that outperform competing products and deliver better image quality in every price category. The top-to-bottom family, built using the cutting-edge 90 nanometer semiconductor fabrication technology, delivers better performance and image quality than ever.

The new family has a GPU that is right for everyone. Competitive gamers and enthusiasts looking for the absolute best will want the Radeon X1800 -- the fastest graphics processor on the planet. For those getting started in gaming or who are more interested in editing photos and videos, the Radeon X1600 delivers the best image quality available, for high-fidelity editing and playback. For those who want all of the features and capabilities of the Radeon X1800 and Radeon X1600 but who are on a budget, the Radeon X1300 will meet their needs for as low as US $79. Each of the new graphics processors feature:
  • Ultra-threaded shader architecture to run today's shader-intense games faster than any product already on the market
  • Revolutionary new memory architecture that makes the GPUs incredibly efficient, improving performance even more
  • Fast and efficient 3D image quality that delivers the best looking games while maintaining blistering fast performance
  • Avivo, ATI's technologies to greatly improve display quality and refine video playback.

Radeon X1800 and Radeon X1300 cards are shipping immediately, with additional Radeon X1800 configurations and Radeon X1600 cards shipping later in October and November.
