Loyd Case recently examined video on new DX10 cards in his DX10 Video Quality Shootout. The Radeon 24 cards include ATI’s “UVD” video processor, which handles decoding of the VLC and CABAC/CAVLC bitstreams on the GPU, freeing up lots of CPU time. This results in some very-high-quality video, but the CPU utilization for decoding the advanced VC-1 and H.264 video found on Blu-ray and HD-DVD is still quite high. The Radeon 2900 XT has the same video processing unit found in Radeon X1000 series cards, and like those cards, uses its substantial shader power to perform some video processing tasks.

Both of these cards are power-efficient enough that we expect to see passively cooled versions from third-party vendors.Īlso worthy of note is the video processing of the HD 2600 (and 2400) cards. HIS Radeon HD 2600 delivers remarkable gaming performance for Windows Vista and DirectX 10 HIS Radeon& HD 2600 features hardware HD video processing and HDMI with built-in 5.1 surround audio ATI Avivo (optional with bundle of DVI-to-HDMI adapter) HD technology delivers sharp images and vibrant color fidelity from 1080p playback. It also has 120 stream processors, 4 color ROPs, and 8 texture units. The card has graphics clocked at 800 MHz. The GPU boasts Unified Superscalar Shader architecture, and it is manufactured on 65 nm technological process.

The HD 2600 Pro is a short card, about 6.5 inches long, with a really tiny fan on it. Sapphire Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB GDDR3 AGP is a desktop graphics processing unit, based on ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT AGP. Physically, the HD 2600 XT is a normal-size, single-slot card, and it’s pretty quiet. Note that there are two versions of the Radeon HD 2600 XT, one equipped with 1100MHz GDDR4 and a $129 version with 800MHz GDDR3. This is unfortunately not the case, so memory bandwidth is still rather limited. Cards are now available on the market, but with the. With all the high-end cards going well beyond the 256-bit memory busses of old, we had hoped the sub-$200 cards would move on from 128-bit busses. When AMD first launched the Radeon HD 2600 XT, we were told that versions of the card with GDDR3 memory would have an 800MHz memory clock. Unfortunately, all these cards are held back by 128-bit memory busses. Once you unwrap the Sapphire HD 2600 XT Ultimate graphics card, youll notice the 'Fueled By Sapphire' heatsink and the heat pipes. As with the high-end cards, these ATI variants have a greater number of stream processors, but fewer ROPs and texture management units.
