[First Review] AMD Radeon HD 3450 128MB
Radeon HD 3450 and Radeon HD 3470
here is the specification of HD 3450 and HD 3470. For your comparison, we compiled the chart with HD 2400 Pro and HD 2400 XT.
From the charts we can see, HD 3450 and HD 3470’s main difference is only their core/memory frequency. The core frequency of HD 3470 is 33.3% higher than HD 3450.
The card in our hand is RV620 LE, Radeon HD 3450 with 128MB GDDR2 memory. For NDA reason, we can not post any picture before the official launch.
After the mod, Rivatuner can recongized RV620.
GPU-Z fail to read the right data.
Though the architecture is same with RV610, but HD 3450 have a higher clock so we expect HD 3450 can have a higher performance.

Radeon HD 3470 is ATX form factor, it is a standard PCI-express card. But Radeon HD 3450 is a low profile card, suited for small factor PC/HTPC.
Radeon HD 3400 all supports CrossfireX. Because they are all low end card, so we guess the CFX feature is mainly for Hybrid CrossfireX.

Great card for HTPC and great review from expreview pointing out everything worth pointing as always. ATI seems to be on the right track! Also i hear that the new R700 will be more than 50% faster than todays cores so i guess ATI will manage to kick harder nvidias butt this year, like the arrogant bastards deserve.700USD for the 9800GX2? Get the hell out of the industry you stupid jerks!

hey PSOlord, no flame, please.

Sorry jeff. I will restrain myself next time (at least i will try :P). But generally in forums, flaming against companies is allowed but not against persons or other posters. These guys at nvidia are funny, really. Thats what happens when you keep your nose up. Give people the half baked gt at 200euros but when serious performance comes into play go ahead and chop their heads off. I wonder how much they will ask for the GT200. I will curse at ATI too if they start taking their prices sky high.

Plz…someone…try hybrid SLI / crossfire?
Good job to use low end CPU to test cpu usage!
Please try the AGP version with lowest prosesor, like pentium III or Via to show how great the UVD and pure Video HD.
