Photo gallery - Radeon HD 4550 512MB

On the next few pages we'll show you some photos. The images were taken at high-res and then scaled down. The camera used was a Canon 450D 12 MegaPixel.

There it is in its full glory, the Radeon HD 4550. A nice and tiny card. There also is a 256MB passively cooled model available.

The backside, where also memory chips are located. The engineering samples have Samsung 64bit memory modules.

When we flip around the card we see the single slot cooler a tad better. It does the job sufficiently. It's not at all loud. And though the core temperature of the GPU can get hot, it's not disposing heaps (volume) of heat inside your PC. Always make sure your PC is properly ventilated with at least one intake and one exhaust fan though.

The lowest of low do not come with CrossFire fingers/connectors. Though unconfirmed I bet you that Crossfire will work though. yet the data volume is so low that it can be managed over the PCIe bus.

Armed and activated. Ready to undergo a rather hefty (for this card) benchmark session.
