<b>SUNNYVALE,
Calif. – April 24, 2013</b> <b>- </b>AMD (NYSE:
AMD) today launched the <a href="http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/7000/7990/Pages/radeon-7990.aspx">AMD
RadeonT HD 7990</a>, the world’s fastest graphics card<a>[i]</a>,
designed for gamers who want to take their PC gaming experience to the highest
level. Based on award-winning <a href="http://www.amd.com/us/products/technologies/gcn/Pages/gcn-architecture.aspx">AMD
Graphics Core Next (GCN)</a> architecture with <a href="http://www.amd.com/us/products/technologies/amd-eyefinity-technology/Pages/eyefinity.aspx">AMD
Eyefinity</a> technology[ii], the
AMD Radeon HD 7990 graphics card delivers unrivaled performance and world-class
technology for playing the latest DirectX®
11 games in extreme resolutions and multi-monitor configurations.
”If
you crave the ultimate in PC gaming, the clear and commanding choice is the
Radeon HD 7990 graphics card. No other graphics card on the market measures up
to the unparalleled gaming experience it delivers, and it comes with eight AAA
game titles optimized for AMD Radeon award-winning GCN architecture,” said Matt
Skynner, corporate vice
president and general manager, Graphics Business Unit, AMD. ”Once again,
AMD shatters the industry benchmark for state-of-the-art graphics technology.”
AMD
underscored its commitment to offering the best PC gaming experience by
introducing the AMD Radeon HD 7990 graphics card with a refreshed ”Never
Settle: Reloaded” AAA game bundle. In addition to ”Crysis® 3,” ”Bioshock®
Infinite,” ”Tomb RaiderT” and four other titles, AMD is including the highly
anticipated <a href="http://far-cry.ubi.com/fc-portal/en-us/home/index.aspx">”Far
Cry® 3: Blood Dragon”</a> by Ubisoft®.
This new title will also be offered as a thank-you gift to all previous ”Never
Settle: Reloaded” customers and will be loaded automatically onto existing
redemption codes.
”‘Far
Cry 3: Blood Dragon’ is an all-out honest cyber shooter that doesn’t take itself
too seriously. In a genre saturated with super-serious narrative and realistic
settings we felt it was time to inject some good old fashioned robofun into
it,” said Dean Evans, creative director, Ubisoft. ”Ubisoft’s relationship with
AMD’s Gaming Evolved program brings together today’s most sought-after titles
in PC gaming with the most advanced graphics technology. With AMD Radeon
technology, our top games – ‘Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon’ included – can be played
with the quality and performance we intended.”
Continued AMD innovations in graphics technology
enables gaming enthusiasts to play the latest and most popular PC games
at maximum settings: for instance ”Tomb Raider” with TressFX Hair enabled, or
the demanding ”Crysis 3” in 4K resolution. Impressively, the AMD Radeon HD 7990
GPU was the graphics card of choice to showcase the Electronic Arts public
unveiling of ”Battlefield 4,” to be released in the fall of 2013.
