NOW
The ULTIMATE SAPPHIRE HD 5670!
Fastest
Silent graphics card on the planet has full DX 11 support
Building
on its reputation for special editions and silent cooled graphics
cards, SAPPHIRE
Technology has just introduced the ULTIMATE Edition of the SAPPHIRE HD
5670,
boasting the full performance and features of the fan cooled models,
but with a
totally silent heatpipe cooler.
The
SAPPHIRE HD 5670 ULTIMATE has 400 Stream Processors and sports 1GB of
the
latest DDR5 memory. With clock speeds of 775MHz core and 1000MHz (4GHz
effective) for the memory, it delivers the same performance as fan
cooled
models, but with a totally silent heatpipe cooler, making it the
fastest silent
cooled graphics card available today.
The
output configuration on the bracket is Dual-Link DVI, HDMI and
DisplayPort. In
addition to a DVI to VGA adapter, an HDMI to DVI adapter is included,
allowing
two DVI monitors to be supported. The SAPPHIRE HD 5670 ULTIMATE will
also
support three monitors in ATI Eyefinity mode with a suitable
DisplayPort
monitor or active display adapter. Native CrossFire support allows two
or more
cards to be used together for additional performance on a suitable
CrossFireX
compatible mainboard.
The
SAPPHIRE HD 5670 series is fully DirectX 11 and Windows 7 compatible.
It not
only boosts performance in current DirectX10.1, DirectX 10 and DirectX
9.0 games
and applications, but will support stunning new levels of detail,
transparency
and lighting effects in newer releases of software using DirectX 11.
All of
this comes with low active power consumption and Dynamic Power
Management delivering
super low-power operation in 2D or idle. As the core technology is low
power,
no external power connection is required, making this series ideal for
system
upgrades or mainstream PCs that do not have high end power supplies.
All
products in the SAPPHIRE HD 5000 series have an on board 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. In the SAPPHIRE HD 5000 series the UVD has been enhanced to be
able
simultaneously to decode two 1080p HD video streams and to be able to
display
HD video in high quality with Windows Aero mode enabled. HDMI
capability has
also been upgraded to HDMI 1.3a with Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master
Audio.
This
series of cards supports all the latest features demanded by Microsoft
DirectX
11, including DirectCompute 11 instructions, hardware Tessellation and
multi-threaded communications with the system CPU. These combine to
provide new
capabilities for the interaction between transparent objects, new
lighting and
accelerated post processing effects as well as physics calculations and
accelerated video transcoding. They also support ATI Stream,
accelerating
supported applications such as video transcoding and rendering tasks by
executing
instructions on the GPU architecture rather than the system CPU.
The
SAPPHIRE HD 5000 series is supported by AMD's Catalyst DirectX 11 WHQL
certified graphics driver which delivers support for all of the key
DirectX 11
level features required for new gaming experiences and acceleration of
next
generation high performance applications.
