AMD Announces Memory Series and Radeon RAMDisk 4.1

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. launched its Radeon RG2133 Gamer Series Memory and Radeon RAMDisk 4.1.

RG2133 is the only memory on the market that offers both XMP and AMP memory profiles in one package, enabling ease in overclocking on both platforms (1,2.)

RG2133 will ship with a free AMD Radeon RAMDisk 64GB, which features enhanced load-and-save functionality. When paired with an AMD A10 Series APU, it will improve frames-per-second (FPS) by up to 22% (3). Gamer Series Memory is part of AMD’s Unified Gaming Strategy initiative that places AMD technology at the heart of digital gaming and plays a critical role that enables top performance, an outstanding experience and maximum value for PC gamers everywhere.

(1) AMD’s product warranty does not cover damages caused by overclocking, even when overclocking is enabled via AMD hardware or software.
(2) Memory profiles are designed to boost system performance with pre-set memory profiles. AMP profiles are only available on supported AMD platforms and XMP profiles are only available on supported Intel platforms. The motherboard and the DDR3 memory module must be AMP or XMP-enabled in order to download preset profiles. Check with motherboard manufacturer and system memory manufacturer to see if AMP or XMP are enabled.
(3) Test conducted in AMD Labs to measure RAM speed/performance in FPS using ‘Bioshock Infinite’ at 1080p, low preset. DDR3-2133 AMD Radeon RG2133 Gamer Series memory 2x4GB showed performance of 31.2FPS and DDR3-1600 AMD Radeon RE1600 Entertainment Series memory 2x4GB showed performance of 25.56FPS.
