Diamond Multimedia xDNA - CrossFire on any chipset with any cards
Written by Andreas G 28 October 2007 16:58

Diamond Multimedia made a big return to the graphics card market with a new lineup of Radeon cards a while back, and it was the first to announce the launch of Radeon HD 2900 XT 1GB just recently. In a document supplied to us we can now inform you about the next step for Diamond; xDNA. xDNA is a platform that enables you to run a CrossFire setup on any chipset, and that includes NVIDIA chipsets. You can pick pretty much any motherboard with any socket, fit it with two Diamond Radeon cards and run CrossFire on it using Diamond's xDNA technology.

"The Diamond xDNA technology delivers immersive gameplay for Windows Vista™, OpenGL and DirectX® 10, while allowing for easy XFusion multi-GPU upgradeability. The bottom line is that it enables users to run the hottest titles of today and tomorrow. Delivering a fully loaded HD feature-set, including support for ATI mAvivo™ HD, HDMI connect ability, HD Audio and Blu-ray™ / HD DVD decoding, Diamond’s xDNA eclipses the demands of the performance hungry HD gaming desktop by providing fully optimized drivers and middleware."

The Diamond xDNA package includes many different technologies such as TruHD, TruHD’s HD Game and TruHD’s Live³ to ensure a true HD audio and visual experince with audio enhancing filters and effects. Below is a snippet;

xDNA TruHD™…The evolution of sight and sound of 1080p

With Diamond TruHD technologies, you can be sure that the HD audio experience will be just as the movie director, game creator, TV producer, or musician originally intended. The most stunning animation and graphics will fall short if they aren’t combined with the mrealism and immediacy of surround sound.

TruHD’s HD Gamefeature plays in widescreen.

Diamond HD Game technology allows users to push the gaming visual experience to an all new high. Go beyond standard definition (SD) and experience High Definition (HD), the ultimate widescreen, ultra-high-resolution PC experience made possible by Diamond® Radeon® graphics processing units (GPUs). HD has over 7x the picture clarity of native 1080p HD televisions and 2x the picture clarity of 1080i HD televisions on today’s hottest PC games.

TruHD’s Live³takes digital sound beyond 2.1

Live³™ is Diamond’s next-generation lossless technology developed for high-definition disc-based media. When coupled with high-definition video, Live³ offers an unprecedented home theater experience that lets you enjoy sound as stunning as the highdefinition picture. The real-time interactive capabilities of Diamond’s xDNA Live³ technology are ideally suited to PCs and video games because it reproduces audio cues and effects that follow the on-screen action, transforming gameplay into an exciting and realistic entertainment experience. Gamers hear every window shatter, feel every explosion, and experience every wipeout.

Diamond Dynamic Scalability (DDS) takes performance to new extremes through its middleware software by dynamically processing load balancing and resource allocation to ensure the highest level of efficiency.
