Con il comunicato stampa di seguito allegato, Diamond Multimedia ha annunciato di recente la scheda grafica siglata 670PE31G. Si tratta di una video card basata sulla gpu ATI Radeon HD 4670 di AMD - prodotta in tecnologia a 55nm e dotata di 320 processori di stream - ed equipaggiata con 1GB di memoria RAM di tipo G-DDR3 (il valore reference è invece uguale a 512MB, ndr). La gpu della scheda lavora con una frequenza operativa pari a 750MHz mentre la RAM on board opera a 900MHz fisici e dunque 1800MHz effettivi.
Il produttore fa notare che la sua Radeon HD 4670 è dotata di supporto per la tecnologia multi-gpu ATI CrossFireX, che permette l'installazione di una topologia che può includere fino a 4 gpu, e per la Unified Video Decoder 2, che consente la decodifica del contenuto multimediale compresso con VC-1, H.264 e MPEG-2.
La nuova soluzione di Diamond è già in commercio sul Web.

CHATSWORTH, CA —September 30, 2008— Diamond Multimedia (www.diamondmm.com), a leading manufacturer of PC graphics cards, sound cards and communications products, launched today the ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics card. The 4600 series of cards boast up to 3 times the performance of the previous generation of GPUs.
The HD 4670 is a single slot card, PCIE 2.0, with 1024MB of DDR3 memory and a clock speed of 750 MHz. The memory speed is 900 MHz, designed with 320 stream processors.
The HD 4670 provides plug-and-play ATI CrossFireX upgradeability with up to quad-GPU support. Making it fast and efficient is ATI’s Power Play and 55nm processing technology.
The Radeon HD 4000 series of GPUs delivers their superlative visual performance with a powerful new TeraScale engine that delivers high resolutions and fast frame rates. Unified Video Decoder 2 frees up the CPU for other tasks, especially the most processing-intensive content, including VC-1, H.264 and now MPEG-2. Take full advantage of Blu-ray functionality with dual-stream, picture in picture (PIP) capabilities. The ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series GPUs can upscale video display to 2560x1600 on dual-link monitors, which is almost twice the display resolution of 1080p displays. As with their predecessors, the Radeon 4000 series provides graphics support for the latest Microsoft DirectX 10.1 games and realistic 3D graphics and shading effects.
All Diamond video cards carry the Diamond guarantee of quality assurance. Unlike many cards that are simply first to market, Diamond carefully tests and retests every new model for its ratio of performance to reliability. Diamond is legendary in the PC video card business for its less than 1 percent return rate versus an industry average of approximately 10 percent. Diamond cards use superior connectors, cables and components, as well as undergo more thorough testing for heat susceptibility and durability.
