CHATSWORTH, CA —March 31, 2010— Diamond Multimedia (www.diamondmm.com), a leading manufacturer of PC graphics cards, sound cards and accessory products, introduced today the 2 gigabyte, DirectX® 11 capable ATI Radeon™ HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition graphics card.  This card offers the high end performance qualities of the popular Radeon 5800 series combined with six mini-display ports for an extreme six monitor display capability.

The HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition is a dual slot card, PCIE 2.0, with 2048 MB of DDR5 memory and a clock speed of 850 MHz.  The memory clock speed is 1.2 GHz.  As with the original HD 5870, the 2 gigabyte version is designed with 1600 stream processors and 40 nm technology.

The Radeon™ HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 delivers the latest HD gaming performance with Microsoft DirectX® 11 and Windows® 7 support. Featuring ATI Stream Technology, the 5870 Eyefinity 6 boosts system performance by offloading tasks from the CPU to the GPU for better balanced platforms and accelerated digital home entertainment.

The latest Blu-ray and HD DVD movies play smoothly beyond 1080p with ATI Avivo™ enhanced Unified Video Decoder 2. The new HD 5870 supports content protected, high bandwidth 7.1 surround sound over HDMI.  

All Diamond video cards carry the Diamond guarantee of quality assurance. Unlike many cards that are simply first to market, Diamond carefully tests and retests every new model for its ratio of performance to reliability. Diamond cards use superior connectors, cables and components, as well as undergo more thorough testing for heat susceptibility and durability.
