Check it out!

Radeon HD 3650

I'm very very tempted at that price. cant wait to see how they perform.

I don't know the egg has a few 8800gts 320's for 114 after rebates that I think would be better.

 

[webdevour]

No 1GB cards for that price.

Though I just noticed they are only GDDR2

 

[mblue]

True, but 1 gig doesn't mean anything if the card is PP performer.

 

[moto211]

1 gig with a card like that is pointless. even on high end cards, 1 gig isn't really useful unless you run really high resolutions.

 

[JamesXP]

Typical low end marketing..

Slap on ram and it's a high end card

 

[Cheator]

Yeah man, stay far away its meant to have curb appeal but you get up close and the power just doesn't match... that gpu can't handle all that ram anyway.

128 bit gddr2 lol

Pretty much everyones hit on the obvious. Don't be a Joe-six-pack sucker.

 

[webdevour]

Is it really worth bashing for the price though? I was in no way comparing it to high end cards, where did you get that idea from?

 

[Pinky]

The 128bit handicap just about smashes 3D performance at resolutions that would normally benefit from 1GB of onboard ram. The benefit from 1GB of ram is lost as a result. What you're left with is an underclocked POS IMHO. You would get about the same performance from a used 8600GTS (256MB) or comparable for $50 on eBay. I would not personally spend $80+ on this.

No, it's not horrible, but definitely not news worthy.

lol that card doesnt even look like it could do any damage with anything other then starcraft or condition zero.......i bet crysis would make it crash and scream UNCLE! lololol
i wouldn't buy it just because it looks like my old nvidia fx5500

Ati should stop playing games with customers.

Every company does it.

Every company does it.

i double that.....and plus they make good stuff so why not? nvidia also...but what pulled me away was that I had 4 nvidia cards all 4 Failed after a few yrs from PCI > AGP > PCI-E

i forgot which models i had but i know i had the TNT-2 , FX5500, 8600GT i gave up on them.... >waves bye< even though i still like there cards its not like im some kinda ATI Fan boy i give credit where it is due... and plus the 3870x2 got the best 3dmark06 score.

Aside from CCC issues I have been very happy with it.
