AMD graphics cardsRadeonRX 5700 series: amazing 1440p gaming performance
The AMD Radeon RX 5700 series graphics cards feature the RDNA gaming architecture , designed to deliver incredible performance, scalability, and power efficiency for the future of PC, console, mobile, and cloud gaming. Delivering 1.25 times the performance per clock [ii] and 1.5 times the performance per watt compared to the previous generation Graphics Core Next (GCN) [iii] architecture , and supporting high-speed GDDR 6 memory and interface PCIe4.0, RDNA architecture delivers processing power for realistic and ultra-responsive high frame rate gameplay.
The new Radeon graphics cards offer a range of 1440p gaming options , including:
- RadeonImageSharpening ( RIS ).The technology restores the clarity of those images that become blurry as a result of post-processing effects. RIS combines with GPU scaling to provide crisp, smooth frame rates on very high resolution displays, and is also compatible with DirectX ® 9, 12 and Vulkan ®.
- FidelityFX—is an open source toolset available on GPU Open that makes it easy for developers to create high quality post-processing effects. Thanks to this, the picture in games becomes clearer, while maintaining a balance of gradation accuracy and performance. Fidelity FX has a contrast-adaptive sharpening ( CAS ) feature that brings out detail in low-contrast areas while minimizing artifacts caused by conventional image sharpening processes.
- Radeon ™ Anti - Lag . Optimized for eSports gaming,RadeonAnti-Lagreduces monitor response time by up to 31%[iv].
