ATI Showcases X850XT’s Running on Windows Vista PC’s
ATI Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:ATYT) today announced it is the principal graphics provider for Microsoft’s sold-out Professional Developer’s Conference (PDC) in Los Angeles. As a Gold Level Conference Sponsor, ATI provided over 300 ATI Radeon X850 XT graphics cards to be featured in PCs showcasing Microsoft’s highly anticipated Windows Vista? Operating System (OS) at the event. Good to see ATI has drivers working with the OS, but the launch of the OS is scheduled a long time away in December 2006.
ATI supports Microsoft Windows Vista with its current top-to-bottom line of graphics processors. Moreover, ATI’s integrated graphics processors are the only integrated graphics available on the market that currently support Windows Vista requirements. Consumer and commercial PCs and notebooks based on ATI’s Radeon Xpress 200 chipsets with integrated graphics are already widely available today from leading systems vendors and motherboard manufacturers around the world. Microsoft Windows Vista uses graphics hardware acceleration natively within the OS and makes extensive use of 3D visualization techniques throughout, as well as provides the environment for independent software vendors (ISVs) to write graphics-intensive applications. Microsoft’s new graphics driver standard, known as the Vista Driver Display Model (VDDM) has been designed to radically advance functionality, stability and reliability within the stunning and streamlined new desktop design.
