Gigabyte Reveals Its Radeon RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT
July 7, 2019
The RDNA gaming architecture of Radeon™ RX 5700 Series is designed to power the future of PC, console, mobile and cloud-based gaming for years to come. It features a new compute unit design optimized for improved efficiency and a multi-level cache hierarchy designed to provide reduced latency, higher bandwidth and lower power. Delivering up to 1.25X higher performance-per-clock and up to 1.5X higher performance-per-watt compared to the previous-generation Graphics Core Next (GCN) architecture, RDNA provides the computational horsepower to enable thrilling, immersive gaming by enhancing explosions, physics, lighting effects for fluid, high-framerate gaming experiences.
In addition, GIGABYTE Radeon™ RX 5700 XT 8G and Radeon™ RX 5700 8G graphics cards include several powerful new features and capabilities to deliver superior 1440p gaming experiences. One of these features is FidelityFX, an open-source developer toolkit that makes it easier for developers to create high-quality post-processing effects that make games look beautiful while offering a balance of visual fidelity and performance. FidelityFX features Contrast-Adaptive Sharpening (CAS) which draws out detail in low-contrast areas while minimizing artifacts caused by typical image sharpening routines. Radeon Image Sharpening (RIS) –RIS combines with GPU Upscaling to provide sharp visuals at fluid frame rates on very high-resolution displays with virtually no performance impact, and works across DirectX® 9, 12, and Vulkan® titles. Both Radeon FreeSync™ and FreeSync™ 2 HDR technology allow users to enjoy smooth gameplay without tearing and stuttering in your ongoing battleground. Radeon™ Anti-Lag improves competitiveness by decreasing input-to-display response times by up to 31 percent, delivering an experience similar to higher framerates. Play as you can and get first blood!
