MSI ATI RADEON RX2600PRO DRIVER

Games Games like F. MSI was kind enough to send us the MB version. We tried playing a few HD movies and the CPU usage ranged from 30 to 50 per cent, which is understandable if you consider that this an ancient single core processor and playing HD content is only made possible thanks to the HD Pro card. ATI's HD Pro GPU, or less commonly known as RV, is made in the 65nm manufacturing process which is the main prerequisite for this card to be passively cooled, since it produces less heat and doesn't need a large heatsink like, for example, Sapphire's HD Ultimate. It's a silent AGP card with a reasonable price and price is often what really matters in the upgrade market.

The only difference between this card and the MB version is memory size; the cooler and the clocks are identical.

The reason for which we decided to pick this system is the fact that the AGP market is dying, and that those in search for the AGP card either want rdeon make a nice HTPC out of their aging system or simply just want to refresh it a little.

When compared to the X we can talk about some performance issues, but these cards aren't in the same class or generation for that matter. Stock Intel Cooler Memory: Simple math comes into play: Conclusion The card is capable of running most games at reasonable resolutions, its cooling is effective and the temperatures are surprisingly low.

Wti HD Pro GPU, or less commonly known as RV, is made in the 65nm manufacturing process which is the main prerequisite for this card to be passively cooled, since it produces less heat and doesn't need a large heatsink like, for example, Sapphire's HD Ultimate.

It was interesting to see that the temperature on the Radeoj block is the same as the one on the heatsink fins, which means that the heat is effectively transferred from the Wti to the heatsink. A passive card for mature PCs. Even then, the cards, as well as the entire system, just didn't have what it takes to run this demanding game.

When talking about passively cooled cards it's always worth mentioning that you should assure good airflow inside the chassis when using such cards, as passive cooling solutions are in most cases less efficient than their active counterparts. Intel P4 Northwood 2.

Bear in mind temperatures are measured in an open case environment, and in a closed case good airflow is a must. The memory works at rdaeon lower clock of MHz MHz effectiveand the card has a bit memory interface. In Serious Sam 2 the difference rises as you set higher resolutions, which we can attributed to the difference in memory amount and memory rx26000pro, but MSI HD Pro handles Antialiasing and Anisotropic Filtering really well.

The main credit goes to the large heatsink, as well as the fact that the RVPro core doesn't heat up too much, thus making it a perfect candidate for passive cooling.

The reason for this is simple, the AGP port can't supply enough power to power this card.

More in this category: As we mentioned in the beginning, MSI has decided to go for a passive cooling solution which uses dual heatpipes to transfer the heat away from the core to the heatsink located on the back of the card. Fudzilla It News and reviews. The only noticeable difference between the AGP and PCI-Express versions is the lack of Crossfire connector and the small Rialto bridge chip placed on the back of the card.

We tried playing a few HD movies and the CPU usage ranged from 30 to 50 per cent, which is understandable if you consider that this an ancient single core processor and playing HD content is only made possible thanks radeonn the HD Pro card. The card handles Windows Vista and its Aero Glass without any problems. The memory, on the other hand, is a different story. Of course, the main raadeon of a passive cooling solution is it's completely silent, so if you are a "noise-freak" a passive solution is made for you.

Benchmarking and Conclusion All Pages. World in Conflict at maximum details is just not made for this kind of system, so in order to get at least double digit results we had to put the game on medium settings.

MSI RXPRO AGP tested

That difference is noticeable in 3DMark 03 where the HD Pro has marks less, and in the 3DMark 06 where the difference is lower, marks. For this test, we decided to use an older system which we like to call "old faithful," based on Intel's PE socket chipset paired with Intel's P4 Northwood processor working at MHz.

MSI was kind enough to send us the MB version. Yet another difference is the 4-pin floppy connector which can't be found on the PCI-Express version. As this card comes without the temperature sensor on its core, mso measured it using the temperature probes placed on the GPU block and on the heatsink fins on the back of the card.

It's a silent AGP card with a reasonable price and price is often what really matters in the upgrade market. Games Games like F. We were very skeptical concerning the performance of this cooling solution, but MSI has managed to pleasantly surprise us.
