Very Affordable ATI card from Powercolor, the Radeon HD 2400XT
Very Affordable ATI card from Powercolor, the Radeon HD 2400XT
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.

Powercolor, established by Tul Corporation in 1997, is a graphics industry leading brand name now and well known for its outstanding performance and innovative technology. In the past we've seen multiple NVIDIA and ATI based graphic accelerators made by Powercolor and besides their graphics business they've also build up some experience in the main board market. However, over the past years most of their focus has been set on vga cards build around ATI gpu's, a business which most people will recognize the Powercolor branding from. Our review subject of that is a brand new Powercolor HD 2400 XT, a pre-launch sample packed in a boring white box, the final package will look something like this:

The HD 2400 series are ATI's latest entry level graphics accelerators meant for people who can live with less detailed in-game and prefer the price as low as possible. Therefore ATI designed a new GPU called the R610, a shrink-down version of the high-end R600, its main features are:

  • Hardware based H.264/VC-1 decoding of Blu-ray™ and HD DVDs
  • HDMI with 5.1 surround sound audio
  • DirectX® 10 support
  • Up to twice the performance of integrated graphics

    That's a quite complete feature set for such a low-end component, combined with the higher clocks of the XT version we hope ATI will provide us with decent gaming performance. Before we dive any deeper into our charts we're going to have a closer look at Powercolor's HD 2400 XT ->
