ATI Radeon HD 5850 (2 Comments) (link)
 Wednesday, 30-September-2009  20:56:19 (GMT +10) - by Agg

AMD have unveiled their ATI Radeon HD 5850. As you might guess from the name, this is the little brother of the recently announced 5870. The Radeon HD 5850 GPU is based on the same ASIC as the ATI Radeon HD 5870. All AMD has done is to disable some streaming processor units and texture units. However, most uniquely, the Radeon HD 5850 retains the same 32 ROPs found in the ATI Radeon HD 5870. This means it should be a powerhouse in antialiasing and post processing performance for the price.
