ATI has just launched ATI Radeon 5670. It is using the same 40nm process with the 5700 series. The launch itself is a part of ATI's strategy to let market be enthusiasted with this new graphics card. Appropriate algorithms, following the 5670 and 5700 series is aimed directly at the mainstream market. According to AMD, about two-thirds of PC gamers use a graphics card priced under $ 100 and display resolution also under 1920x1200.
In addition to full support Directx11, 5670 include the ATI Stream to boost tasks such as transcoding and Flash hardware acceleration. 5670 also supports multi-monitor technology Eyefinity ATI. It is also capable of supporting up to three displays and an opportunity for third parties to support the fourth display if they use two slot design. With a total computing power 620G flops, 5670 has a core clock speed of 775MHz and 512MB or 1GB memory is GDDR5 128bit at 1000MHz with 4Gbps data rate and the memory bandwidth reaches 64GBps.
5670 will need around 14 watts when it is idle and about 61W when it is working. This means the 5670 does not require additional power connector. However, third-party version that can be over clocked may need it.
What about the price sensitive market? ATI will have similar model next month, the 5500 and 5450. These cards are designed for basic PC users or home theater PCs. This is because the 5450 can be cooled passively, which also reduces the noise level.
The cards will also support up to three displays using an HDMI 1.3a or Eyefinity, CrossFire software and Hybrid CrossFire for the 5450.
Because the target circles is under $ 100, you can get ATI 5670 512MB for $ 99. But the 1GB version will be about $ 120.
