He’ll re-examine video quality and performance shortly, including these new cards. 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.

The HD 2600 Pro is a short card, about 6.5 inches long, with a really tiny fan on it.
Physically, the HD 2600 XT is a normal-size, single-slot card, and it’s pretty quiet. 5/100 Hardware index based on 83 submissions (performance relative to fastest system, more info). Average overclock on air, water, cascade or liquid nitrogen. Click on view more to see the complete hall of fame. Note that there are two versions of the Radeon HD 2600 XT, one equipped with 1100MHz GDDR4 and a $129 version with 800MHz GDDR3. ATi Radeon HD 2600 XT AGP (GDDR3) 847/819MHz 847/819MHz 800/700MHz 800/700MHz 800/700MHz. World records achieved by overclocking a ATi Radeon HD 2600 XT GDDR3 videocard. This is unfortunately not the case, so memory bandwidth is still rather limited. 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. Unfortunately, all these cards are held back by 128-bit memory busses.
Based on the differences in performance and price, the HIS 2600 XT IceQ Turbo GDDR3 looks like a bargain compared in isolation to the Sapphire HD 2600 XT GDDR4. VAT), the card is around 10 cheaper than Sapphire's GDDR4-based 2600 XT.

With ATI Catalyst graphics management software it is also certified for Windows Vista and is designed for quick and easy set up of graphics, video, and multiple displays. Bit-Tech published a review of the HIS Radeon HD 2600 XT IceQ Turbo GDDR3 video card At around 75 (inc.
As with the high-end cards, these ATI variants have a greater number of stream processors, but fewer ROPs and texture management units. The Diamond Viper Radeon HD 2600 XT PCIE 512MB GDDR3 Video Card delivers powerful graphics performance to enhance the stunning Windows Aero interface.
