ATI's new HD5800 series is ALREADY on the consumer market. According to AMD, the ATI Radeon™ HD5800 Series graphics processors are the most technologically advanced and feature rich GPUs AMD has ever created. AMD releases two new cards so far, i.e. HD5850 and HD5870, both cards are equipped with UVD 2 video engine, independent video gamma controls, Blue-Stretch processing for effectively brighter whites in video, and dynamic video range support.
But for the htpc users, most importantly the HD 5800 series now supports Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master Audio besides the aged DD and DTS surround sound output with up to 8 channels of 192kHz / 24-bit audio. Hope the entry-level series, e.g. HD5300 (?) will be available soon then I can grab one.
