Actually, it's suddenly looking like considerably less of a selling point. And you've managed to get all your HDCP components to talk to each other properly.

That's assuming you've forked out the king's ransom required to net a Blu-ray player.

Unlike NVIDIA's 8-series cards, it can decode VC1 completely on the GPU, which means your processor is under virtually no load while watching Blu-ray movies or hi-def movie files. The card's saving grace is its HD video decompression. Given the rotten performance of high-end cards under the early crop of DX10 apps, we couldn't bring ourselves to try the HD2600XT out in this environment, so all the benchmarks you see over yonder were recorded under DX9, in XP. Which means the only currently available unified-shader midrange card worth a fig is the 8800GTS 320MB. In fact, we'd go as far as to say this is a budget card, not a midranger at all - it is less than £100, after all.

An early driver issue, but the fact remains. It can't even run Half Life 2 - a three year-old game, now - at better than 41FPS at 1680 x 1050, and it refused to fire up 3DMark 2006 on our test rig. See the benchmarks over yonder, and weep. And did we mention that card's middling games performance?ĪTI's new midrange offering can't match NVIDIA's effort in the framerate stakes. The HD2900XT has been launched at a near-identical price-point to the 8600GT. On the other, it's a worry - 65nm production process aside, exactly how much clout can an unpowered card really muster?Īnd the answer, unsurprisingly, is not much. On the one hand, this is a good thing less power consumption means a more efficient PC. Somewhat curiously, the card doesn't require any powering beyond that from the PCI-E bus no six-pin plug socket, not even a winky-wee Molex. Another key comparison point is the number of ROPs - 4x2, rather than the HD2900XT's 16x2.

Radeon HD 2600 XT Mac Edition is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 1.0 x16 interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 700 MHz, memory is running at 800 MHz.īeing a single-slot card, the ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT Mac Edition does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 45 W maximum. ATI has paired 256 MB GDDR3 memory with the Radeon HD 2600 XT Mac Edition, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. It features 120 shading units, 8 texture mapping units, and 4 ROPs. The RV630 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 153 mm² and 390 million transistors. Since Radeon HD 2600 XT Mac Edition does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. Built on the 65 nm process, and based on the RV630 graphics processor, the card supports DirectX 10.0. The Radeon HD 2600 XT Mac Edition was a graphics card by ATI, launched on February 21st, 2008.
