At AMD's "Next Horizon Gaming" event at E3, company President and CEO Dr. Lisa Su spoke about the next-generation PC gaming platform. Powered by the new AMD Radeon™ RX 5700 Series graphics cards and XNUMXrd Generation AMD Ryzen™ desktop processors, the platform delivers outstanding features for gamers and is designed to deliver quality performance and efficiency.
AMD Radeon™ RX 5700 XT and RX 5700 graphics cards are powered by the new AMD RDNA gaming architecture, which delivers superior visual quality, blazing-fast performance, and advanced features for the latest AAA games and esports titles. The new family of products also includes a special anniversary edition of the AMD Radeon™ RX 5700 XT graphics card, released in honor of the company's 50th anniversary. It features an increased clock frequency and is sold in gold-colored packaging with the autograph of Dr. Lisa Su.
9rd Generation AMD Ryzen™ desktop processors deliver stunning performance in games and content creation applications while offering more performance-hungry on-chip cache than ever before. At the event, Dr. Su introduced the latest model in the product family, the third generation AMD Ryzen™ 3950 16X, the world's first XNUMX-core desktop processor.
“We have made significant efforts to expand the capabilities of high-performance computing and provide gamers with the components they need to get the gaming experience they want,” said Dr. Su. “Our industry-leading Ryzen 3000 Series desktop processors and Radeon RX 5700 Series graphics cards combine unique design, performance, technology and efficiency to deliver the best gaming experience.
Our new Ryzen processors and Radeon graphics cards offer exceptional performance and technology to every gamer at a range of price points, from super-high frames per second to a whole new level of realism and image quality, as well as the ability to quickly record and share gameplay.”
“Seventy percent of PC gamers today are using three-year-old graphics hardware or even older graphics cards70 that lack the power and functionality to deliver high-quality, high-performance, immersive gaming experiences,” said Scott Herkelman, corporate vice president and general manager. manager of the Radeon Technologies Group at AMD. “Our Radeon™ graphics cards with RDNA architecture redefine the 1p gaming experience with stunning graphics, performance, and industry-leading features that take your gaming experience to the next level.”
Superb gaming experience at 1440p resolution
AMD Radeon™ RX 5700 Series graphics cards feature a number of significant features and technology capabilities that deliver superior 1440p gaming experiences, including:
● Advanced RDNA gaming architecture. Built from the ground up for outstanding performance, scalability and power efficiency, RDNA was designed for the future of PC, console, mobile and cloud gaming. It features a new compute unit design optimized for performance and a multi-level cache hierarchy designed to deliver lower latency, higher throughput and power efficiency. It also includes an advanced graphics pipeline that is optimized for high clock speeds.
Delivering 1,25x faster performance per clock2 and 1,5x faster performance per watt3 compared to the previous generation Graphics Core Next (GCN) architecture, RDNA delivers the processing power for immersive, immersive gaming with enhanced explosions , motion dynamics, lighting effects and more, as well as smooth gameplay with high frame rates.
● Radeon Image Sharpening (RIS). The technology restores clarity to images that become blurry as a result of post-processing effects. RIS combines with GPU scaling to deliver sharp, smooth frame-rate images on very high-resolution displays, and is also compatible with DirectX® 9, 12 and Vulkan®.
● FidelityFX is an open source toolkit that will be available in the coming weeks at GPUOpen, which makes it easier for developers to create high-quality post-processing effects that make games look beautiful while balancing visual fidelity and performance. FidelityFX features contrast-adaptive sharpening (CAS), which brings out details in low-contrast areas while minimizing artifacts caused by traditional image sharpening procedures. Developers plan to integrate CAS into a number of popular games, and Unity Technologies plans to integrate it into its real-time 3D development platform.
● Radeon™ Anti-Lag. Optimized for eSports gaming, Radeon™ Anti-Lag technology increases the benefit by reducing monitor response time by up to 31%4, delivering game-like performance similar to that at higher frame rates.
● Extreme refresh rate. RDNA architecture enables DisplayPort™ 1.4 with Display Stream Compression (DSC) technology to deliver extreme refresh rates, color depth, and HDR support up to 8K@60Hz or HDR support up to 4K@144+Hz on today's displays. including the world's first DSC-ready monitor, the new ASUS Republic of Gamers 43-inch monitor showcased at E3. The new monitor is capable of supporting HDR at 4K and 144Hz resolution using a single DisplayPort 1.4 cable.
● Largest ecosystem of gaming monitors5. With a choice of more than 700 supported monitors, gamers can enjoy flicker-free and stutter-free gameplay using AMD Radeon FreeSync™ 6 and Radeon FreeSync™ 2 HDR7 technologies.
The 7nm Radeon™ RX 5700 XT and RX 5700 graphics cards, as well as the Radeon™ RX 5700 XT Anniversary Editions, are the first PCIe® 4.0-ready gaming graphics cards. Below are the detailed specifications of the products:
