AMD Radeon R9 and R7 Series Graphics Cards Usher in a New Era of Gaming Realism

Verfasst vonDr@
Ultra-reso­lu­ti­on gam­ing, asto­nis­hing audio and bare metal per­for­mance opti­miza­ti­on beco­me rea­li­ty with intro­duc­tion of AMD Rade­on R9 and R7 Series of GPUs, AMD TrueAu­dio tech­no­lo­gy and Mantle#

SUNNYVALE, Calif. —9/25/2013 

AMD (NYSE: AMD) today unvei­led the AMD Rade­on™ R9 290X, R9 290, R9 280X, R9 270X, R7 260X and R7 250 gra­phics cards, AMD’s first GPUs in a new era of gam­ing defi­ned by UltraHD dis­plays, rene­wed vigor in game engi­ne deve­lo­p­ment, and a new gene­ra­ti­on of gamers that expect a more immersi­ve enter­tain­ment expe­ri­ence. AMD also intro­du­ced the world to Man­t­le and AMD TrueAu­dio tech­no­lo­gy, the latest inno­va­tions that rede­fi­ne the GPU by enab­ling both gamers and game deve­lo­pers with unpre­ce­den­ted audio and per­for­mance enhance­ments for com­pa­ti­ble games1,2.

“The AMD Rade­on R9 and R7 Series gra­phics cards are new GPUs for a new era in gam­ing,” said Matt Skyn­ner, cor­po­ra­te vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, Gra­phics Busi­ness Unit, AMD. “This era is shaped by ultra-reso­lu­ti­on gam­ing and an exci­ting new gene­ra­ti­on of high­ly-anti­ci­pa­ted games like ‘Batt­le­field™ 4.’ But it’s also an era shaped in a very powerful way by our own Uni­fied Gam­ing Stra­tegy; we’ve tea­m­ed up with the world’s top game deve­lo­pers to estab­lish a com­pre­hen­si­ve port­fo­lio of games that you can maxi­mi­ze to their full poten­ti­al only with AMD Rade­on™ graphics.”

Mantle and Graphics Core Next: Simplifying Cross-Platform Game Development

The award-win­ning Gra­phics Core Next (GCN) archi­tec­tu­re in the AMD Rade­on R9 and R7 Series gra­phics cards con­ti­nues to ser­ve as a dri­ving force behind the Uni­fied Gam­ing Stra­tegy, AMD’s approach to pro­vi­ding a con­sis­tent gam­ing expe­ri­ence on the PC, in the living room or over the cloud — all powered by AMD Rade­on gra­phics found in AMD gra­phics cards and acce­le­ra­ted pro­ces­sing units (APUs). The four pil­lars of the Uni­fied Gam­ing Stra­tegy — con­so­le, cloud, con­tent and cli­ent — come tog­e­ther with the intro­duc­tion of Mantle.

With Man­t­le, games like DICE’s “Batt­le­field 4” will be empowered with the abili­ty to speak the nati­ve lan­guage of the Gra­phics Core Next archi­tec­tu­re, pre­sen­ting a deeper level of hard­ware opti­miza­ti­on no other gra­phics card manu­fac­tu­rer can match. Man­t­le also assists game deve­lo­pers in brin­ging games to life on mul­ti­ple plat­forms by lever­aging the com­mo­n­a­li­ties bet­ween GCN-powered PCs and con­so­les for a simp­le game deve­lo­p­ment process.

With the intro­duc­tion of Man­t­le, AMD soli­di­fies its posi­ti­on as the lea­ding pro­vi­der of fast and effi­ci­ent game deve­lo­p­ment plat­forms. Man­t­le will be detail­ed fur­ther at the AMD Deve­lo­per Sum­mit, APU13, taking place Nov. 11–13 in San Jose, Calif.

AMD TrueAudio Technology: World’s First Programmable Audio Pipeline

AMD TrueAu­dio tech­no­lo­gy marks a new fron­tier in rea­lism for PC gamers. AMD TrueAu­dio tech­no­lo­gy empowers game deve­lo­pers with a pro­gramma­ble audio pipe­line on the GPU, invi­ting them to put their uni­que artis­tic fin­ger­print on in-game audio in the same way that the pro­gramma­ble gra­phics pipe­line brought unfet­te­red artis­tic visi­on to PC gra­phics. Enab­led games can fea­ture more rea­li­stic envi­ron­men­tal dyna­mics, a richer tapestry of sound effects, breath­ta­king direc­tion­al audio and more.

AMD TrueAu­dio tech­no­lo­gy enhan­ces audio rea­lism by simu­la­ting the human brain’s per­cep­ti­on of real-world sound, working in con­cert with the user’s exis­ting audio hard­ware to recrea­te a life­li­ke expe­ri­ence in upco­ming games like “THIEF™” by Squa­re Enix or “Lich­dom” by Xavi­ant Games.

AMD Multi-Display Technology: Redesigned for Ultra-resolution Gaming

The arri­val of the next-gene­ra­ti­on AMD Rade­on gra­phics cards also marks a new chap­ter in AMD’s his­to­ric sup­port for stun­ning dis­play con­fi­gu­ra­ti­ons. AMD Rade­on R9 and R7 Series gra­phics cards are made for gam­ing on UltraHD (3840x2160) dis­plays, inclu­ding sup­port for non-tiled 2160p60 dis­plays with a future AMD Cata­lyst™ dri­ver release. In addi­ti­on, gamers more accus­to­med to AMD Eye­fi­ni­ty mul­ti-dis­play tech­no­lo­gy will be freed to use vir­tual­ly any com­bi­na­ti­on of dis­play out­puts when con­nec­ting matching moni­tors to the DVI or HDMI® out­puts on their system.

AMD Rade­on R9 and R7 Series gra­phics cards will be available for purcha­se in the near future.
