The overall tweaks in the details have added more polish to the ROP’s texture. There’s an obvious improvement in the chip’s overall performance and visual quality. Games are certainly more realistic with the ATI Radeon HD 5870 Graphics Processor.

The idea behind the new series is that it comes with constituent parts are tiny, solid, and extremely capable. Architecturally, it is similar to the previous models. While the asymmetric vec4+1 shader set up and the ratio of shader remain the same, you’ll see that the silicone production has changed from 55 nm to 40 nm. It is now able to fit in more transistors for better performance.
