The Radeon 2600 is built on the same lines of architecture as the Radeon 2600 XT, except that it has a lesser clock speed
and different memory configuration, It's more compact com¬pared to the 2600XT card, though comes with a slightly noisier fan, The unavailability of CrossFire Connector is a slight disadvantage, Main specs include 600 MHz of clock speed and 256 MB of DDR3 RAM, It also has an HDMI capability and is HDCP
complaint, besides having the regular support for HDTV and DVI outputs,

Targeted mainly toward budget-conscious garners, this card can play all the DirectX 10 games for you, A score of 3509 in 3D Mark06 is very good for any budget-range card and is 500 3D Mark more than the NVIDIA 8500GT, In 'Company of Heroes' it gave an average, of 20 fps at max setting (Le, 4xAA/16xAF at 1280x960 resolu¬tions), which is decent and is comparable to what we got from NVIDIA 8500 GT, In BIOSHOCK also it performed decently well with an average of 23 fps at 1280x1024 resolutions. Coming to some of the DirectX 9 games like FEAR, it gave an average of 20 fps at max setting, which is very similar to the score we got from NVIDIA 8500 GT.
