SAPPHIRE Technology, the leading manufacturer and worldwide supplier of AMD/ATI based graphics solutions is now shipping a totally silent version of the SAPPHIRE HD 4670 branded as the ULTIMATE Edition.
The new SAPPHIRE HD 4670 ULTIMATE Edition has been engineered by SAPPHIRE using heatpipe technology to bring a totally silent solution to this graphics family. As it uses no fan it must be installed in a case with good system ventilation. With its 320 stream processors and carrying 512MB of GDDR3 memory the SAPPHIRE HD 4670 ULTIMATE is ideal for HTPC or general purpose computers that are required to run quietly but can also used for gaming. Clock speeds are 750MHz for the core and 873MHz (1.746GHz effective) for the memory.
The SAPPHIRE HD 4670 ULTIMATE uses the PCI-Express Gen2 interface, and supports CrossFireX, allowing two or more cards to be used together on a CrossFireX compatible mainboard for higher graphics performance. The series uses the powerful graphics architecture from the ATI division of AMD, incorporating multi-purpose stream processing units and improved memory management architecture. With the latest drivers, this product offers ATI Stream processing for the acceleration of supported applications.
SAPPHIRE graphics cards in the HD 4600 series incorporate the latest ATI Avivo™ HD Technology for enhanced Video display. They feature a new generation of built in hardware UVD (Unified Video decoder) considerably reducing CPU load and delivering smooth decoding of Blu-ray™ and HD DVD content for both VC-1 and H.264 codecs, as well as Mpeg files. Three types of video outputs are provided on the rear bracket - DVI, VGA and HDMI - allowing direct connection to a variety of displays. Two simultaneous displays are supported.
SAPPHIRE HD 4000 series graphics cards are Microsoft Windows Vista™ Premium certified and supported by the ATI Catalyst® suite of software, ensuring customers have ongoing access to software updates for performance, stability and added features. Like the previous generation, these cards support DirectX10.1 for enhanced rendering performance and lighting effects.
