Today AMD has launched its long-awaited ATI Radeon™ HD-5670 graphics chip.
This is its latest addition to the line-up of graphics products that can support Microsoft's Direct X® 11
gaming and computing software, as well as new innovations such as ATI Eyefinity technology.
Priced at less than $99, the ATI Radeon™ HD 5670 graphics chip enables a superior high-definition gaming
experience in the latest Direct X® 11 titles, employs ATI Streaming technology to increase performance in

the next level.
Matt Skynner, v.p. and general manager of the AMD Graphics Group says “in the last week, AMD has celebrated the shipment of its two millionth DirectX 11 graphics chip. AMD has
already enabled DirectX® 11 support for the majority of the PC market and today’s introduction of the ATI Radeon™
HD 5670 graphics card is yet another clear indication of AMD’s commitment to address the strong market demand
for DirectX 11-capable graphics cards.”
“Combined with the successful launches of the ATI Radeon™ HD 5970, ATI Radeon™ HD 5800 series and ATI Radeon™
HD 5700 series, AMD has defined the DirectX 11 gaming experience, bringing graphics innovations like ATI Eyefinity
technology and ATI Stream technology to millions of consumers worldwide,” added Skynner.
“DICE prides itself on delivering the best possible experience to gamers, and ATI Radeon™ graphics cards help
us to do that with Battlefield: Bad Company™ 2 through the use of DirectX® 11 and our Frostbite engine,” said
Johan Andersson.
“The fact that AMD has now shipped two million DirectX® 11 graphics processors demonstrates how excited gamers
are by the awesome performance and feature set of the latest ATI Radeon™ products,” said Andersson.
Here are some of the features of the 5800 series of AMD chips:
Good performance at a small price: The ATI Radeon™ HD 5670 graphics card delivers up to 620 GigaFLOPS of
computing power and GDDR 5 memory, delivering a powerful gaming performance for under $100 in the latest

Better acceleration with ATI Stream technology: ATI Stream technology speeds up video transcoding and
improves video playback performance with applications such as Adobe Flash, and helps to deliver video enhancements
that produce better visual quality with sharper, more vibrant images.
Engineered for speed, the ATI Radeon™ HD 5970 delivers an unrivaled HD gaming experience so you can play the
latest, most demanding HD titles like never before. Featuring cutting-edge graphics technology, display and
