Just six months ago, I would have rolled my eyes on hearing the name 'ATI'.Now however, it raises my eyebrow, to say the least!
ATI's latest offering, the Radeon HD 4850 and 4870 touches speeds of teraflops!
What is a teraflop?Basically a measure of a computer's performance.If you think your calculator is fast, it operates at just about 1o FLOPS[FLoating Operations Per Second].1 teraflop =1000000000000FLOPS!!!Really fast!
The HD 4870 uses DDR5 interface, which is three times better than DDR3!!!
This is made possible thanks to ATI's tie up with AMD.ATi can now consume AMD's resources- money, processors, all.
These GPUs come in pretty cheap too, best of all!They handle DirectX 10.1.
Intel's larrabee too should be coming around soon, we have to see what that offers.........
Till then, these monsters of the HD 4 series should give some sleepless nights for rivals....if any!
Games never looked this good!!!
