$75.00
Released January, 2008
The Pros:Handles medium to heavy gaming duties. Easy to overclock, can be handled within the driver settings themselves. Energy efficient, despite heat generation.
The Cons:Can't handle top-end games at max graphics settings with a respectable frame rate. Not compatible with Linux 2.6.30 kernel. Some incompatibility issues with Windows Vista, frequent crashes.
The ATI Radeon HD 3600 (or 3650) is a mid-range graphics card, replacing the Radeon HD 2600 Pro. It supports DirectX 10.1 and is available in 512MB and 1GB models. With ATI Avivo HD, the HD 3600 intends to ensure smooth playback of 1080p content, and features built-in DisplayPort, DVI, and HDMI outputs.
ATI Hybrid Graphics allows the HD 3600 to combine with a compatible AMD integrated chipset for improved gaming performance, while CrossFireX technology enables multi-GPU setups. Idle and low-usage power consumption is reduced with PowerPlay technology.
