Dual-core graphics cards are suddenly again in the spotlight with ATI's recently launched Radeon HD 3870 X2 and PowerColor is the next vendor to send us its version, which looks to be a very standard reference design. Does it perform up to the mark?

The PowerColor HD 3870 SCS3 Edition is a completely passively cooled Radeon HD 3870. This makes the card an excellent choice for a quiet Media PC computer. What is really amazing is that the passive card runs up to 25 C cooler than the reference design which uses a fan.

PowerColor's new HD3850 Xtreme is full of customization compared to the reference design. Instead of two DVI ports it has one DVI and one HDMI port which supports HD video playback with HDCP and digital audio straight off the GPU. In addition to that a custom cooler by Zerotherm ensures that the card stays cool no matter what you throw at it. Another bonus is that the memory size has been doubled to 512 MB of 1.0 ns GDDR3 memory.

If you are a fan of ATI graphics cards looking for performance in the mid range category, the PowerColor HD 3850 Xtreme is a great option. This card has very good performance considering the price in the $200 range. It's been a while since I have been reasonably impressed by the performance of an ATI card. It's good to see ATI with something that can compete with NVIDIA and the PowerColor ATI Radeon HD 3850 Xtreme does a good job competing with the cards from big green in its price class.

This card would make a great video card for a PC that needs extra graphics muscle for running the cool new features of Windows Vista. The onboard sound card also makes this a great choice for a budget home theater system.

One could say that AMD finally got bored with dragging its offer and decided to finally do some decent work with the new models. Here we have a completely new card, destined to impress both the press and the market. The architecture plans were based on the experiences with the R600, with significant new changes. Is R670 really all that R600 was meant to be?

ATI's new 55nm GPU, the RV670 hits the streets today and we take a look at the lesser Radeon HD 3850 in the form of a special, overclocked version from PowerColor featuring a third party cooler. Can it shake up the mid-range graphics segment like NVIDIA's recent GeForce 8800 GT? Find out inside.

PowerColor, unleash the gaming power. Only a couple of months ago AMD released the Radeon HD 2900 series and along with that introduction came as well the low-end and mid-range products to go up against NVIDIA. Just recently NVIDIA did a re-spin of their popular G80 core, with a die-shrink and optimizations to come up with a renewed G92 which is powering the GeForce 8800 GT and at a very attractive price tag. And now AMD couldn't sit and wait too long so they also did work hard to come up with the first DirectX 10.1 compatible graphics core the RV670 and also supporting PCI Express 2.0. The Radeon HD 3850 will be replacing the Radeon HD 2900 PRO accelerator.

Today thanks to PowerColor we have the opportunity to test one of AMD's newest GPU's - The Radeon HD 3850. This version is not a stock HD 3850 card. The card we received from PowerColor is their Xtreme edition with 512MB of GDDR3. The Xtreme edition is a factory-overclocked card, equipped with a ZEROtherm VGA Cooler to offer better cooling performance. The reference Radeon HD 3850 card has 320 stream processors; the core is clocked at 670 MHz and has 256MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 1.66 GHz. The PowerColor Radeon HD 3850 Xtreme?s core is clocked at 720 MHz and has 512MB GDDR3 memory clocked at 1.8 GHz.

To accommodate those mid-range users, Powercolor started manufacturing the HD 2400 series video cards. Every card in the HD 2400 Series has DirectX 10 support, 1080p, Universal Video Decoding, and HDMI with surround sound. Today, we have the Powercolor HD2400 Pro on our test bench. This card's $59 MSRP should definitely entice users who are looking for a mid-range gaming card with multimedia capabilities. Let's move right into our review to see just how the HD 2400 Pro stacks up to the demands of Windows Vista Ultimate and DirectX 10 gaming.

Shortly after releasing their long waited HD 2900 XT, ATI announced a new generation of mid-range and low-end graphic accelerators, the HD 2600 and HD 2400 series. The HD 2600 series follow up the X1600 and are ATI's next best mid-range product while the HD 2400 series are meant for the entry level gamers among us. We take a look at Powercolor's HD 2400 XT, the fastest in ATI's HD2400 line-up, to find out what kind of graphic details can be expected with this low cost
video card.
