AMD’s ATI Radeon HD 4550 and 4350 graphics cards are a wet dream for gamers on a budget by delivering DirectX 10.1 graphics and an HDMI port with 7.1 channel audio while keeping the price low. The $55 HD 4550 is equipped with 512MB of DDR3 memory with a 96 GFLOPS of power. The smaller but still potent HD 4350 packs 256MB of memory for $39. ATI claims that this type of power has previously not been available at this price point and I think they are right. These are a heck of a deal when they launch sometime in October ‘08.











Active cooling? Wouldn’t it be cheaper for them to make it run at a lower clock speed so that they can just use passive cooling and not have to bother with a fan? For $39-55 video cards, the users probably don’t care about performance apart from playing videos on youtube and similar tasks.
