Games Convention 08: Cool card


RV710
should end up branded as Radeon 4550 and this new card will need less than 25W to work. This is incredibly low consumption and at least in FSAA and Aniso enabled benchmarks it will beat Radeon HD 3650 by ten to thirty five percent.


There are two versions of the card, one with DDR2 and one with DDR3 memory. The main difference is that the DDR2 comes with 256MB memory and will definitely end up cheaper, while the GDDR3 memory comes with a 512MB frame buffer.

The beauty is that it will come passively cooled and the DDR2 version will even come as a low profile card. It should be available in late September.
