ATI Radeon HD 3870 for Mac Pro ships late June
Mac Pro users will be able to upgrade to ATI’s Radeon HD 3870 in June, one of their flagship graphics cards ideal for gaming and high-definition video editing. The card will be optimised for use with a Mac Pro, featuring 256-bit 512MB GDDR4 memory, and 320 stream processors, which bring maximum performance for graphics-intensive software such as 3D design, games and animation. The card also features a dual-link DVI port, which allows you to connect two displays—up to a resolution of 2650x1600 on each screen (that’s two 30-inch Apple Cinema Displays).
The forthcoming card also features ATI’s Unified Shader Architecture with PCI Express 2.0 support. Both of these will extend the gaming capabilities of a Mac Pro, enabling higher resolutions and more textures to be rendered in less time. ATI claims the card is outstandingly efficient, with “twice the processing performance-per-watt compared to previous generations of high-end AMD graphics processors.“ It will cost $219 in the US, and ships worldwide in late June.
