AMD today has announced a new offering in their Radeon HD 6000 Series line-up of GPUs – the Radeon HD 6790.
AMD is introducing this GPU to cater to gamers and PC enthusiasts who are looking for great performance but want to spend $150 or less. The Radeon HD 6790 will run about $149 MSRP and is designed with “HD gaming” – gaming at HD resolutions – in mind. The GPU is optimized for running games at a 1080p (1920x1080). It also supports Eyefinity for the use of multiple displays (total number of displays depends on partner). And of course it brings in DirectX 11 with Windows 7. It has a clock speed of 840 MHz and 1GB of GDDR5 memory. For the full specs on the Radeon HD 6790, click here.
If you’re a gamer running an older Radeon GPU – this card should definitely be looked at if you’re looking to upgrade!
Thanks, however, I just bought a 5450 (fanless) which should be going to the Media PC I am building (running windows 7 and Media Center of course, but might add the Boxee software to it) and is very well suted since it produces ZERO noise... I think you guys already featured that card in the past, definitely not a gaming card, but well worth for HD media on the "big screen".
This 6790 should be a decent upgrade to my 4650, although the 4650 is still serving me well. But hey, it's nice to be up to date, and maybe then I'll be able to try out DX11 on games that support it.
@Ivan Iapis - I actually have that very same graphics card (the 5450) in my Media Center PC at home! I agree it may not certainly be a gaming card but it handles HD video playback and TV via Media Center just fine as well as Blu-ray playback. Keep me posted on how the building of your new Media PC goes!
Keep up the good work AMD!!..
