With 256 and 512MB of memory

Besides the two cards in the HD 4550 series, Powercolor has also launched two new cards in its HD 4350 series. Both cards will be branded as the SCS HD 4350 and both will be using the same passive cooling solution, a small heatsink. Despite the memory amount difference, both cards will be packed on a low profile PCB. 

The only difference between these two cards is the amount of memory, as both will be clocked at 600MHz for the core and 800MHz for 256/512MB of DDR2 memory. Same as the HD 4550, the HD 4350 is also limited to the 64-bit memory interface and comes with support for DirectX 10.1, PCI-Express 2.0, ATI's CrossfireX and integrated HDMI support.

These two should appeal to HTPC users, as they have an integrated HDMI on a low profile PCB, they even support UVD so that HD video playback should be fine and they are both passively cooled. Another positive thing is the power consumption, which shouldn't go over 20W under full load, which is a great result. These two should be priced at around $40 for the 256MB version and a bit over $50 for the 512MB version as the DDR2 memory is just dirt cheap these days.
