AMD är is the first graphics card manufacturer to have its graphics cards officially certified for the new DisplayPort interface. VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) has officially certified ATI Radeon HD 3400, Radeon HD 3600, Radeon HD 3800 and ATI FireMV 2260, and the IGP AMD 780G for DisplayPort. The new interface has already been adapted by several graphics card and monitor manufacturers, and sporting a considerably higher capacity than DVI, DisplayPort will most likely become the leading interface on the PC market in the future. Several PC builders have already announced plans to transition to the new interface.
“Dell is pleased to see AMD achieve the first DisplayPort Certification for PC graphics with the ATI Radeon HD 3000 products, ATI FireMV 2260 and AMD 780G,” said Bruce Montag, Office of the CTO, Dell. “The VESA DisplayPort Certified Logo assures customers that DisplayPort products interoperate and provide a great digital display experience.”
There are NVIDIA-based cards with DisplayPort outputs so there is probably just a matter of time before the green camp will also boost DisplayPort-certified cards.
