Sapphire Technology is now shipping AGP versions of its latest series of graphics accelerators. As you already know, the X1600 series supports Shader Model 3.0, Avivo and High Definition video standards.

The Sapphire RADEON X1600Pro AGP has 12 pixel pipelines, 256MB of DDR2 memory, clock speeds of 500MHz (core) and 400MHz (memory).

Retail versions of these new Sapphire graphics accelerators will ship with multimedia software including PowerDVD and Sapphire Select.
