PowerColor HD 3650 512M GDDR3 Xtreme PCS

INTRODUCTION

Over the last few months, NVIDIA has been enjoying the high-end graphic card market with their current 8800 series.  AMD was unable to compete with NVIDIA with their HD 2900 series but the situation is getting better with the introduction of the HD 3800 series.  Although AMD is still not able to take the performance crown away from NVIDIA, its latest HD 3850 is performing fairly close and their upcoming card may very well steal the crown away from NVIDIA.

Although AMD was unable to compete with NVIDIA in the enthusiasts market, it is able to compete very well with NVIDIA in the mainstream and budget market.  Their latest technology in the HD 3850 has been ported to the mainstream and budget market with the introduction of the HD 3650 and HD 3400 in January 23, 2008 .  Today, join us for our first review of the HD3650 as we will take a look at the HD 3650 Xtreme from PowerColor.
