AMD has announced the ATI Radeon X1900 G5 Mac Edition, a next-generation
graphics card that combines workstation-class creative productivity and 3D game
performance.
The ATI Radeon X1900 G5 Mac Edition represents a high-performance PCI Express
graphics upgrade card for the Power Mac G5 Quad and Power Mac G5 Dual. Upgrading
to the ATI Radeon X1900 G5 Mac helps pro-application users maximize their
creative potential with the powerful PCI Express-based Power Mac G5 Quad and
Power Mac G5 Dual.
“Programs like Apple's Final Cut Studio, Aperture and Motion really come
to life with this card,” said Ron Paley, president, Carbon Computing and
Carbon Sound & Picture.
“Power users will find the ATI Radeon X1900 G5 Mac Edition the ultimate
solution for delivering screen real estate for graphics, photo and video editing
projects, and professional users will experience strong productivity gains.
It's indispensable for anyone doing graphics-intensive work with a standard
quad- or dual-G5 system; and of course, gamers will love it too.”
“The ATI Radeon X1900 G5 Mac is the fastest graphics processor upgrade
available for Power Mac G5 Quad and Power Mac G5 Dual systems,” said Rick
Bergman, senior vice president and general manager, Graphics Products Group,
AMD. “ATI was one of the longest-running continuous supporters of gamers and
prosumers on the Mac platform and we expect our focus on their needs to continue
now that ATI is a part of AMD.”
At an estimated street price of $349, the ATI Radeon X1900 G5 Mac is a design
with 36 pixel shader processors, 256 MB of video RAM and delivers over 37
gigabytes per second of memory bandwidth. It features two DVI ports that are
capable of supporting two 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Displays.
