ATI has one more card to launch to complete the cycle. The last one is called Radeon 4450, and this card is scheduled for introduction in the last days of September. It is based on RV710, the slowest of Radeon 4000 generation chip.


This is going to be an ultra cheap product mainly for OEMs, but it will also find its way to a retail market. You can bet that this card will cost less than $49, and this will be the most powerful sub-25W card on the market.

It will be a completely passively cooled card, with DDR3 memory support, H.264 and VC1 acceleration engine and 256 to 512MB memory.

The faster SKU will be a full-size card with 512MB GDDR3 with dual-link DVI, HDMI and Display port, while the slower one will come with 256MB DDR3 memory, dual-link DVI, TV out and VGA connector. This is again a passively cooled card that comes in low profile and you can bet that it will be very popular in multimedia PCs.
