Asus and Sapphire are already on the HD 3650 AGP connector
On the European market, there are new graphics-based budget HD3650 ATI graphic chip. This would not be any novelty if not for the fact that these are cards that use archaicznych slightly but still popular AGP connectors. Price of such cards will be approximately 70 € for models with GDDR2 memory and 80 € for the version of GDDR3.
Two producers, who are already on offer this type of card is Asus and Sapphire. This will provide the first model of passively cooled with 512MB of DDR2 memory.

In the case of Sapphire, we have to deal with the classic, jednoslotowym solution. In return, the manufacturer has put smaller radiator to make sure active windmill. Graphics will offer 512MB of memory GDDR3 – 800/1600MHz clocks. The main unit of calculation will work at a speed of 725MHz, or as much as the reference ATI card.
