The most anticipated Radeon R600 has finally been announced by ATI. The best known company for manufacturing the graphic cards, ATI, has developed this Graphics Processing Unit as member of Radeon HD 2000 series and the FireGL 2007 series video cards. The R600 is the very first GPU developed by ATI and is the second generation GPU with unified shader design. ATI has included HDMI interface with 5.1 audio playback supports in this processor and comes with Unified Video Decoder for hardware decoding for MPEG2, MPEG4 and VC-1 video streams.
This GPU is based on XENOS GPU and supports Direct3D 10’s Shader Model 4.0 along with OpenGL 2.0. The graphics processors comes with programmable tessellation units which allows simple, low-polygon model to be increased dramatically in polygon density in real-time with minimized performance loss. Fitted with 4 texture units, this processor is capable of filtering FP16 textures in full speed and is also capable of filtering trilinear and anisotropic texture formats. The meritorious inclusion in this model against the previous one are custom filter anti-aliasing (CFAA) mode which calculates the final color and anti-alias the image by shader processing. This model supports up to 8× multi-sample anti-aliasing (MSAA) using programmable sample grids
