AMD official with ATI R680, RV620, and RV635 GPU cores
AMD just took the wraps off their ATI R680, RV620, and RV635 graphics cores. The new R680 consists of two 55-nm processor cores with CrossFireX support sharing the same specifications of the RV670 processor at the heart of their Radeon HD 3870 -- thought to be AMD's best product of the year. The RV620 and RV635 GPU cores are nearly identical to their RV610 and RV630 processors only in a new 55-nm form. Now, imagine if you will a pair of ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 (R680) cards running in CrossFire. Or say four with CrossFireX. Feels good, right? You won't have to wait much longer as the R680 hits in January. Read -- AMD announced R680, Rv620, and RV635 Read -- ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 in CrossFire
ATI DisplayPort cards trickle out
Now that monitors with DisplayPorts are starting to hit the market, you're going to need a compatible graphics card to get in on all that high-bandwidth action, and it looks like ATI is first of the mark with the RV635 XT board that Hot Hardware recently got a chance to test. Sadly, they're not giving up any hard numbers just yet, calling it more of a "show and tell," but we're definitely intrigued by the claims of daisy-chained display support and the ability to run four displays off one card.
