ATI Radeon HD 4770 Graphics Card Features 40nm Technology

AMD‘s ATI graphics group continues to churn out graphics systems, with the latest editing to their ATI Radeon HD 4000 series being the HD 4770, which features support for DirectX 10.1 games, high-definition video playback, HDMI output, and picture-in-picture capabilities. And, if users want more graphics power, the HD 4770 supports ATI CrossFireX for adding a second HD 4770 card to increase performance. And prices for the HD 4770 start as low as $99.

“Consumer pressure in this economic downturn is shifting demand to lower prices and the price band around $100 has the highest demand and highest volume,” said ATI senior VP and graphics product group general manager Rick Bergman, in a statement. AMD has responded with the launch of the ATI Radeon HD 4770, targeting this market with cutting-edge technologies like 40 nm processors, support for DirectX 10.1 gaming, and GDDR5 memory. This strategy stands in stark contrast to the old ‘trickle down’ technology approach some still use to address this important segment.”

The Radeon HD 4770 use a PCI Express ×16 interface and sports 640 streaming processing units, support for high resolution textures (up to 8,192 by 8,192 pixels), multi-sample antialiasing, OpenGL 3.0 support, and AMD’s Unified Video Decoder 2.0 for playback of MEG-2, H.264/AVC, VC-1, and other high-definition video formats. The card features two integrated DVi display outputs, DisplayPort and HDMI output support, and an integrated HDTV encoder.

The ATI Radeon HD 4770 carries a suggested price of $109, but should ship with a limited time $10 mail-in rebate, bringing the total cost under $100.

Meta Smart Glasses just got the AI upgrade I’ve been waiting for

Phil Nickinson wearing the Apple AirPods Pro and Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses.

Meta loves to upgrade its hardware with extra features, and the Ray-Ban smart glasses that I found to be very impressive are getting a big AI update starting today. Lives=treaming capabilities are also expanding.

New features are great, but if you couldn’t find a style you liked when the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses launched last October, there's more good news — new styles are on the way too.

In our comprehensive list of the best smart glasses to buy in 2024, I mentioned that Meta was testing multimodal input for its Ray-Ban smart glasses. That feature is now rolling out to everyone in the U.S. and Canada.
