The RADEON® X850 XT PLATINUM EDITION is the most extreme gaming graphics card ever created by ATI, with 16 pipelines, the fastest frame rates and ATI's industry-leading 3D image enhancement technology. The ATi RADEON X850XT Platinum Edition delivers further on the promise of High-Definition Gaming.
The RADEON® X850 series advances High-Definition Gaming with blockbuster features, including SMARTSHADER™ HD, ATI's highly advanced pixel shader engine. With up to 16 parallel pixel pipelines and up to 43 billion shader operations per second, the RADEON® X850 series delivers the power serious gamers need. SMOOTHVISION™ HD combines advanced texture filtering with ATI's revolutionary 3Dc™ image enhancement technology to deliver brilliant image quality without compromising performance. 3Dc™ has quickly become an industry standard for supporting complex, high-definition visual effects in real time.
HYPER Z™ HD, ATI's intelligent data compression technology, enables the RADEON® X850 series to optimize available memory bandwidth for ultra-high resolution 3D gaming and ultra-fast performance. The result is the most extreme gaming experience ever, making this the ultimate graphics card for serious gamers.
