Radeon HD 3850 and 3870, or ATI will finally silent
Released in May this year, the ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT can not boast or outstanding performance, or low levels of emitted heat. Attached to them, cooling systems also at a lot of noise, which could not fancy becoming more sensitive to noise users. Fortunately, it appears that the time has come slowly, in which ATI is no longer associated with vocal display adapters from the higher shelves.
New Radeon HD 3850, which should soon appear on the market, will include a cooling system jednoslotowy volume Only 31 dB. It’s a very good result, which indicates that the level of noise generated by the new ATI will be less than that, they can be proud of GeForce 8600 GTS – and must admit that they are really very quiet. The forthcoming high-endowy monster in the form of a Radeon HD 3870 with cooling occupying two slots, has a racket at the level of 34 decibels. This means that it will be competitive cichszy from 8800 GT, it will most likely ciut louder than most 8600 GTS.
I wrote several times, but now again – prepares us to be a really interesting end of the year. It is a chance that the eyes of users is finally divorced from NVIDIA and its highly successful series of 8800, and pay for ATI. All this shows – new solutions “red” is billed as faster, Quiet and offering richer palette of functions (min. DX10.1 and UVD) from the competitor. How will the practice – we’ll see, but it is not successful after its launch HD 2900 XT are good thoughts – for the past six months ATI has a lot of time to rectify problems with its graphics processors. And if the group does not fail this time, you will be overwhelmed by new, great sound card in prices and the falling price of older models.
