CNET product brief
Description: This VisionTek Radeon HD 3650 is a 512 MB, mainstream 3D card.Compared to other mainstream 3D display cards on the market, it is inexpensive at around $75.
Pros: Has a PCI express 2.0 x16 interface, which is somewhat faster than some similarly priced display cards.
Cons: None noted, given available product data.
Suitability: Suited for all productivity tasks, as well as for the casual 3D gamer.This card supports DirectX 10 technology, used in Microsoft's Windows Vista OS, and is the new technology for the upcoming generation of high-performance games.
Value: Given its inexpensive price, this graphics card has great features for the money.
Suggestions: (1) Since this card is DVI-capable, you might want a DVI-enabled monitor or a flat-panel display to connect with it -- this will pass the digital video signal directly without converting it to analog, making for better performance.(2) For Editor's Reviews of the latest graphics cards, visit the graphics and sound section of CNET's website.
