Features

• Radeon HD 5650 graphics cards feature a TeraScale 2 Unified Processing Architecture made of 400 stream processing units, eight color ROP units, 32 Z/Stencil ROP units and 20 texture units. The card is made of 627,000,000 transistors that measure 40 nm. Technology that enhances image quality includes adaptive anti-aliasing, 128-bit floating point rendering and 16x anisotropic texture filtering independent of angle. Super-sample and multi-sample modes for anti-aliasing operate at speeds up to 24X. ATI Eyefinity technology controls up to six different displays with independent settings and enables the grouping of multiple displays into a single, larger viewing area.
  
  

Support

• ATI Radeon HD 5650 cards use a PCI Express 2.1 bus interface and supports DirectX version 11 and OpenGL version 3.2. DisplayPort and dual-link DVI with HDCP have a maximum resolution of 2,560 by 1,600 pixels while the VGA output has a maximum resolution of 2,048 by 1,536. The resolution for the HDMI 1.3 output is a max of 1,920 by 1,200. This card supports ATI Stream acceleration technology such as OpenCL and DirectCompute 11. ATI Avivo HD video and display technology supports dual-stream 1080p playback, DXVA 1.0 and 2.0, dynamic video range and independent video camera control.
