AMD's new Radeon HD 6870 Graphics Card

AMD today introduced the ATI Radeon HD 6870 graphics card, raising the performance bar for graphics cards.

The AMD Radeon HD 6870 is 3-D ready and one of the first HDMI 1.4a and DisplayPort 1.2 solutions for Stereoscopic 3-D on the market.

The AMD Radeon HD 6870 ushers in a new era of gaming that takes users to an entirely new level. The AMD 3-D experience is truly immersive and seamless. AMD has also teamed up with other Open 3-D ecosystem partners to provide consumers with more choice, more innovation and lower cost.

This high-speed graphics card outdoes the competition with 900MHz, a 4.2 GHz memory clock, dual mini-DisplayPort outputs which allows for capability to play on up to five screens and a shader speed of 960 to ensure that graphics are crisp and life-like.

AMD incorporates Eye-Definition (utilizing AMD’s HD3D technology & DirectX 11 for explosive performance and stunning effects) and Eyefinity (which supports multi-display gaming) and AMD Eyespeed (improves video image quality and application performance for amazing visuals) technologies.
