Today we have another bang for buck product, a product that I like very much.
Radeon hd 2600 xt 512mb gddr3 pro#
Prices for the Pro will likely be set at a 99-129 USD pricetag with the XT somewhere at 179-199 USD. That memory will be clocked at roughly 400 MHz for the Pro up-to 1100 MHz for the XT models. Configurations will differ, but you'll see 256Mb models based on DDR2, GDDR3 and even GDDR4 memory. I was really hoping to see AMD be the first to go for a 256-bit wide memory bus, but unfortunately just like the competition they are sticking to 128-bit. 800 MHz for a mainstream graphics card with such a large number of transistors is an all new record by itself. Now among board-partners and models this will vary a little. Expect the Pro to be clocked at 600 MHz and that XT at an amazing 800 MHz. And despite not one member of the press physically had his hands on one, I think the XT can be very interesting. We see a good number of shader processors 120 Stream Processing Units. The GPU core has 390 million transistors which is a friggin lot for a mid-range product.
Radeon hd 2600 xt 512mb gddr3 series#
The Radeon HD 2600 series will again be released in two fold, a Pro and an XT version.

Radeon hd 2600 xt 512mb gddr3 driver#
You insert two of these cards in a compatible mainboard, apply the two Crossfire bridges, enable it in the Catalyst driver and you are home-free. Have a look at some photos and you'll see the new recently introduced Crossfire connectors (bridged just like NVIDIA's SLI connector).

Here's also where the Crossfire fun starts. We'll explain this a bit better in the coming pages. We see the Avivo HD technology for hardware HD video processing with 5.1 audio over HDMI. It's again a fully DX 10 ready product and can do everything the 2400 series can, yet a tad better and faster. The HD2600 is probably what you guys will buy the most. Prices of these two product will remain below 99 USD. The Pro will have its memory clocked at 400 MHz where the XT will have a 800 MHz (x2) memory clock. It's 64-bit memory and these cards will come in 128/256MB GDDR 2 configurations, and some board partners can opt for 256MB GDDR3. We tried to unlock this but it's a no-go. For all cards we can tell you that the shader domain runs at the same speed as the core. There will be a Pro and XT version of these cards and clock speeds will respectively be clocked at 525 / 700 MHz on the core. The graphics core itself has 180 transistors which lead towards 40 Stream (unified shader) processors inside that core. Basically this is a new function on the entire HD 2000 series.

It'll also include ATI Avivo HD technology for HD video playback, and get this: It has built in audio which it can transmit toward your HDMI connector. HD 2400 will be the cheap DirectX 10 compatible product. RV630 requires more power at around 75 to 128-watts. Expect RV610 products to consume around 25 to 35-watts. Compared to the R600 (HD 2900 XT), AMD is manufacturing RV610 and RV630 on a 65nm manufacturing process as it's on a quest for low-power consumption. Native support for CrossFire remains, as with current ATI Radeon X1650 XT and X1950 Pro products. RV610 and RV630 support PCIe 2.0 for increased bandwidth. The value-targeted RV610-based products will carry the ATI Radeon HD 2400 name with two models Pro and XT again. Under codename (ASIC) RV630, ATI developed the Radeon HD 2600 and it'll come in two (Pro and XT) models. Some keywords here: All the products are DX10 compatible, the 2400/2600 series is made on the all new 65nm fabrication process. We'll focus on the 24 series in this page.
