ATI Radeon HD 3400
$40.00
Released January, 2008
The Pros:Card runs very cool even under strain (different manufacturer's cooling solutions vary but low temperature performance does not). Hybrid CrossFire compatible for a quick graphics boost; setting up Hybrid CrossFire is a snap. Low-profile, runs cool, cheap and can handle 1080p video-the perfect candidate for HTPC builders.
The Cons:Different manufacturer makes (XFX, Asus, Sapphire) differentiate more than most graphics cards as some versions sport HDMI outputs while others don't, etc. Included Catalyst software shell integration in Vista is a little annoying (appears in almost every right click menu). Included driver CD is so dated that it often causes problems... Download drivers directly for the AMD/ATI website instead.
The ATI Radeon HD 3400 (or 3450) is an entry-level graphics card, offering performance superior to integrated graphics but not tailored to the needs of hardcore gamers. It supports DirectX 10.1 and is available in 256MB and 512MB models.
