“AMD is introducing the ATI Radeon HD 3870 Mac & PC Edition to enhance the Mac experience to maximum levels of 3D gaming and HD performance,” said Matt Skynner, vice president of marketing, Graphics Products Group, AMD.

The system features ATI's Unified Shader Architecture with PCI Express 2.0 support - gamers will gain outstanding performance on their Mac.
