ATI seem to be on a roll here, after witnessing the brutal match between the HD4670 and the 9500GT, the entry level segment was still untouched.

Till now we had the GeForce 9400GT, which was the only option for HTPC junkies and casual gamers, and naturally ATI could not resist but to cause some chaos. ATI then introduced the Radeon HD4550, its answer to the GeForce 9400GT.

This is a super low-budget card that will solely appeal to those looking to build a cheap but powerful HTPC or want a cheap fan-less solution below 5K.

Specification



Let's dissect the specifications and compare it to the 9400GT. To start off, the HD4550 comes with 80 stream processors compared to the 16 on the 9400GT. The other main difference is the memory; while the 9400GT uses 512MB of DDR2 memory, ATI uses 512MB of GDDR3, which straight away provides more bandwidth. The best part about this card is that it is supposed to consume just 20W on full load, which is really impressive (9400GT consumes 50W on load).

From the specifications itself, you can get a rough idea that this little fellow is shaping up to be quite a beast for an entry level card.
