MSI has just announced the release of not one, not two, but three video cards based on the Radeon HD 3000 series graphics chips from AMD/ATI, and I thought it would be a good idea to give you an all-in-one news package too. Anyway, you won't probably buy all of them at once, but if your family is large enough, I am sure you can find a good card for every computer in the house... These being said, let's move on and face these three new beauties from MSI, all of them being officially released on the 31st of January, shall we?
I'll start with the cheapest member of the family above, the MSI R3400 series cards, pictured at the bottom of the image... so, we have an entry-level card featuring the new 55nm chip and based on the same architecture as the R3600 series, with less stream processors, texture units and ROPs, but with the same HD capabilities, DirectX 10.1 and Shader Model 4.1 support. Although it won't blow gamers out of their seats, its low power requirement and passive cooling solution recommend this card as the perfect choice for your family's media center PC.
Next on the list, we have the mid-range R3600 series, featuring a 256 bit ring-bus, 512MB of GDDR3 memory and 120 stream processors, and a decent active cooling system, as you can see in the right corner of the image. With a gaming performance about the same as previous generation 2600XT cards and superior multimedia capabilities, a R3600 card would fit perfectly in your office/Internet/casual gaming computer, but when we're talking about kids...
...kids should take care about school, first of all, but how can they give their best at school, if their gaming PC doesn't live up to their expectations? If you don't want your kids to think about why a certain game doesn't run as smooth as possible on their computer, then you should grab the R3870X2 for them, without any doubt! In the end, you may be about $450-$500 lighter, but those money would buy your kids a high-end card featuring two 55nm graphics chips, 1GB of GDDR3 memory, no less than 640 stream processors, 32 texture units and 32 ROPs, with simply outrageous processing capabilities (over 1 teraFLOPS of GPU data processing power). Oh, and this card will also bring you a bit of rest & relaxation, because you won't see the kids complaining about their sluggish gaming computer for quite a while!
At this time, the MSI official website doesn't show the products from these series yet, but they'll appear for sure in the coming days, so keep your eyes on it!
