Radeon® X1900 Graphics Technology – Overview
Radeon® X1900 Series — The World’s Fastest Consumer Graphics1
Is your rig ready for the onslaught of next generation games? It will be
with the Radeon® X1900—the fastest consumer 3D graphics processor
on the planet.
Radeon X1900 ATI’s Fastest Graphics Processor
Designed from the ground up to deliver maximum graphical detail at
the best possible frame rates, the Radeon X1900’s state-of-the-art
architecture includes an ultra-threaded engine for unparalleled shader performance.
In addition, it is CrossFire™ ready, allowing your greatest multi-GPU
fantasies to come true.
The Radeon X1900 ups the ante with Avivo™ video and display technology
delivering movies, games, and photos in high-definition format with stunning
color and realism.
The World’s Fastest Consumer Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) The Radeon X1900 conquers the competition with brute force and massive
parallelism, including an ultra-threaded engine, high speed memory support,
and 90 nanometer technology.
New ultra-threaded engine cranks up performance for a significant
improvement over our previous generation GPU
The
Radeon X1900’s ultra-threaded engine has 48 individual
pixel shader processors and supports incredibly fast memory
clock speeds.
Ultra-efficient memory controller squeezes out every last drop
of visual detail from your games
Efficient
use of memory permits rapid transmission of graphics data.
The Radeon X1900’s new ring-bus memory controller
provides optimal memory usage for enhanced performance.
90 nanometer technology = maximum performance
Industry-leading
90 nanometer technology has allowed our engineers to pack more
features into the graphics chip, resulting in faster frame rates
and incredible
performance improvements.
Are You Ready to Slide Your Graphics Settings to ‘V. High’? The Radeon X1900 promises the world’s fastest shader performance
in Shader Model 3.0 applications. ATI allows you to experience simultaneous
HDR and advanced anti-aliasing effects for incredible enhancements to lighting
contour and colour details, delivering the ultimate in visually immersive 3D
gaming.
Get your box geared up for the future
of games with blazing fast shader performance and watch your characters
sweat with Shader Model 3.0
Shaders create the surface properties of 3D objects.
The Radeon X1900 has 48 shader processors that work in parallel with
Shader Model 3.0 to render complex object surfaces—such as glistening
sweat on a character’s skin—with 128-bit floating point
precision.

* Currently there is no commercially available HDCP content. ATI's Radeon® X and Radeon® 9550 series of GPUs are capable of processing HDCP signals ("HDCP ready"), however ATI does not presently manufacture any graphics cards which are HDCP ready. Some third parties manufacture graphics cards containing ATI GPUs -- you can inquire of them which models, if any, -- are HDCP ready.
