News AMD unveils Radeon HD 3400, 3600 series GPUs

[Tefra]

The new Radeon HD 3400 and 3600 series GPUs bring a number of refinements, many of which first made their appearance with the debut of the Radeon HD 3800 series two months ago. Like the 3800 series, AMD's new low-end GPUs have also made the transition to a smaller, "half-node" 55nm fab process.

Tops among the changes is support for DirectX 10.1 and Shader Model 4.1, a minor revision to the DirectX spec that offers game developers better control over antialiasing hardware and exposes a new capability, cube map arrays, intended to improve performance with global illumination algorithms.
