Nvidia and ATI keep pushing the envelope for what's possible with a graphics card. From GPU folding to ray tracing. What about if you're just your average Joe looking to play a game? Well, luckily for you there are plenty of options to choose from. Today, Sapphire brings us their iteration of the ATI HD 4650. This is a card that is aimed for the person who is looking to not spend a lot of money, while getting a lot of performance.

This card can also be a great addition to an HTPC. This is because of a feature that is now on all ATI cards, the ability to take the load away from a CPU when playing video. That means that you do not need as fast of a CPU. It also means that you have smoother play back. So, you can be sure that you won't miss any of that movie to annoying skips. Overall, this will lead to a better HTPC which the whole family can enjoy.
