ASUS ha reso nota, mediante il comunicato stampa di seguito allegato, la realizzazione di due schede grafiche della gamma Radeon, basate sui nuovi processori grafici Radeon X1950XTX e Radeon X1950 Crossfire, rilasciati poco tempo fa dal chip-maker canadese ATI.
La soluzione basata sulla gpu Radeon X1950XTX è siglata EAX1950XTX (cfr. foto seguente): il core della card lavora ad una frequenza di clock 650MHz mentre la memoria locale, avente una dimensione di 512Mb ed un'architettura aderente alle specifiche di DDR4, opera a 2GHz.
E' dotata di specifiche analoghe la versione Radeon X1950 Crossfire (cfr. foto seguente), che è siglata EAX1950CROSSFIRE ed dedicata alla realizzazione dei sistemi grafici dual-card capaci di abbinare ad una resa grafica al top di gamma - con HDR e Adaptive AA attivi - elevati tassi di frame rate.
Entrambe le schede video, che risultano essere Windows Vista ready in virtù del supporto di HDCP, implementano la Splendid Video Intelligence Technology di Asus: questa tecnologia ottimizza la qualità dell'immagine in funzione della tipologia dell'applicativo in esecuzione.
ASUS Technology Pte Ltd (ASUS) the leading provider of high-performance graphics solutions is proud to introduce the EAX1950XTX/HTVDP/512M and EAX1950CROSSFIRE/HP/512M graphics cards, which incorporated ATI's Radeon® X1950XTX VPU to deliver the robust graphics performance demanded for the gaming enthusiast community. Combined with HDCP (High-Definition Digital Content Protection), ASUS Splendid Video Intelligence Technology and CrossFire multiple VPU interface, the new graphics cards offer the ultimate video experience.
Fastest graphics card combination
Although, individually, the two ASUS Radeon X1950 series-based graphics cards are already extremely powerful, utilizing them in CrossFire dual-graphics card mode further offer the fastest graphics processing to date. Take advantage of HDR effects, adaptive anti-aliasing, Shader 3.0, and up to 512 MB GDDR4 memory for 3D gaming that enables lifelike skin textures and silky smooth hair
HDCP and Windows Vista™ ready
To stay in step with Windows Vista requirements, the ASUS graphics cards feature HDCP technology to give users peace of mind when upgrading their systems to support high-definition digital contents and a wide range of premium graphics applications.
Splendid Video Intelligence Technology
Both the EAX1950XTX/HTVDP/512M and EAX1950CROSSFIRE/HP/512M support Splendid Video Intelligence Technology, an exclusive feature found only on ASUS solutions. With Splendid, images enabled by ASUS graphics cards are fine tuned to deliver vibrant visual representations in conditions most favorable to the human eye.
Splendid detects activation and usage of video applications and automatically optimizes image quality for the best visual results, and further provides five modes (Standard, Game, Theater, Scenery and Night) and three skin tone options for various video applications. Splendid works on top of ATI's Avivotm technology to offer sharp decoded video.
