RV635 with Displayport gets ready |
In Interface supporting aspect, HDMI can not get a big share in PC area but Displayport will certainly change this situation. A lot of big shots announce that they will support or they are planning to support Displayport in next gen graphic market including DELL, NVIDIA and AMD. Their new products all support Displayport: AMD’s RV6XX series，NV’s G9X series and Dell’s incoming 3008WFP.
As a user, a graphic card is a very important choice. AMD’s latest product RV620 and RV635 all have integrated Displayport output, so the don’t relay on those convertion chips. It seems AMD want to using this as and advantage, continue on its HDMI interface success of HD 2000 series graphic card.
