Hong Kong - Apr 2, 2009 - HIS today unveils its Fastest Single GPU Graphic Card Ever - HIS HD 4890 Fan Turbo 1GB (256bit) GDDR5 PCIe. It delivers the fastest in-game performance ever seen on a single GPU HIS graphics accelerator.

The HIS 4890 GPU core has been overclocked to 900MHz, at which speed it delivers serious high-definition gaming frame rates. To keep the core busy, there is a new memory sub-system.

Supplied with 1GB of GDDR5 memory running at a peak of 4Gbps, you will enjoy the high resolution and fast frame rates previously only available with dual-card systems.

Peter Yeung, Global Marketing Director for HIS explained the latest advances, "With 800 stream processors, the HIS 4890 has the brute strength needed to tackle the latest 3D games. Gamers can take advantage of the powerful DirectX® 10.1 engine, which delivers unparallel image quality and blindingly fast performance that only comes with HIS 4890 series premium graphics."

" Pushing the 4890 GPU to the ultimate limit, the 4890 Fan Turbo is equipped with the fastest, most advanced GDDR5 memory with clock rate up to the stunning 4Gbps, which translates directly into superior performance and maximum memory bandwidth."

" You can even personalize your experience with state of the art overclocking capabilities, advanced system monitoring and amazing control. Tune your system in real-time and push the performance envelope with the ATI OverDrive^TM utility."

HDMI Video and Audio
A system with an ATI Radeon^TM HD 4800 Series graphics card can help enhance the HD entertainment experience by providing a seamless connection to an HDTV or home theater system. With built-in 7.1 surround sound audio (AC3 / DTS ), the new GPUs and graphics cards support single cable connection directly to a compatible HDTV, projector or receiver. This single cable carries both the HD video and 8 channel audio for a clean, high definition connection. Some graphics cards will be equipped with an HDMI connector, while others will output the HDMI signal using a special ATI Radeon DVI-I to HDMI adapter. These options give consumers more options and flexibility when connecting their PCs to monitors or home theaters for maximum enjoyment of HD content. The new GPU also supports xvYCC color which can display a wider range of color when connected to capable HDTVs.
