Architecture

The architecture on the new ATI Radeon HD5800 was projected to manage all the features we’ve just discussed in the previous posts. Also, ATI has thought of all the games that were compatible with the previous DirectX generations. For these reasons, the TeraScale2 architecture represents what is the current “art” in the GPU world.

Thanks to the architecture, ATI claims to have doubled the performance from the previous generation, guaranteeing 2 TeraFLOPS and a more than 20 Gigapixels/s bandwidth. The same thing happened, similarly, when going from the HD 3800 to the HD 4800 series.
