AMD Two-Chip Graphics Card from AMD

Advanced Micro Devices on Monday launched for PC gamers a two-chip graphics card that it hopes will give it a lead in price and performance over rival Nvidia. AMD's new graphics card will also support the company's CrossFire X technology, which makes it possible to use up to four cards on a single computer to further boost performance.

The ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 combines two graphics processors on a single board, giving it nearly double the performance of the single-chip Radeon HD 3870 introduced in November 2007, according to AMD. AMD's ATI Radeon HD 3400 series graphics card, for example, can complement the company's integrated chipset.
