Specifikationer
Jeg har lavet et compare-diagram, som viser kortets væsentligste rå specifikationer:
Sådan ser kortet ud i GPU-z.
Mht. system requirements har jeg fundet følgende:
- PCI Express® based PC is required with one X16 lane graphics slot available on the motherboard.
- 550 Watt or greater power supply with two 2x3-pin PCIe® power connectors required (750 Watt and four 6-pin connectors for dual ATI CrossFireX™) .
- For enhanced performance with ATI Overdrive™, a power supply with one 2x3-pin and one 2x4-pin PCIe® power connector is required.
- Certified power supplies are strongly recommended. Refer to http://ati.amd.com/CertifiedPSU for a list of Certified products.
- Certified system cases with good airflow and cooling are recommended. Refer to http://ati.amd.com/certifiedcases for a list of Certified products.
- 1GB of system memory.
- Installation software requires CD-ROM drive.
- DVD playback requires DVD drive.
- Blu-ray™ / HD DVD playback requires Blu-ray / HD DVD drive.
- For a complete ATI CrossFireX™ system, a second ATI Radeon™ HD 3870 X2 graphics card, an ATI CrossFireX Ready motherboard and one ATI CrossFireX Bridge Interconnect cable per board are required.
Det skal måske lige for god ordens skyld siges, at min 480Watt PSU fra Antec uden problemer kunne køre dette kort. Husk, at kvaliteten af en strømforsyning er mindst lige så vigtig som watt-opgivelsen!
Ud over dette har kortet også de obligatoriske features fra resten af HD3000-serien. Dette inkluderer en såkaldt Powerplay-teknologi, som skulle reducere strømforbruget samt HD-kvalitet, der skulle være højere end 1080p.
