    Just wondering how fast is this card ? It recently came out and I can't find any review.
    Would anyone be willing to tell me a bit more about this card ?

    Thanks

    EDIT : I've made a mistake I'm talking about the HD 3470. Sorry about that.

    Fine for old games, just don't expect to play any graphically demanding games to much satisfaction on it.. Here's a link for a review. Comparible to a 8400m gs or 9300m from the nvidia side.

    I tried out the onboard motherboard version of the 3450, the ATI Radeon HD 3200 which has a 32bit bus, 40 unified shaders.

    It ran Rainbow Six Vegas 2 around 25-35fps at 640x480, lowest details (Surprising for a intergrated video card).

    Since this one is on a 64bit bus i guess it might be a little bit faster. Maybe some where around the 8400M GS as mentioned so a budget range card from the specs.

    I think he means the 3470, which has a 128-bit bus if im not mistaken.

    I recommend making a search for any of these cards in these forums: HD 3470, HD 2400 XT or 8400M GS. They perform about the same. You will find answers how well they run some games.
