Diamond Radeon HD 3650 1GB Video Card Reviews

What’s different about the Diamond HD 3650 from Diamond is that it carries with it a massive 1GB of memory. We’re not really big on huge amounts of memory added to a mid-range card, but we’ll have to see if Diamond is able to do anything with the HD 3650 here today that impresses us.

Oh, here's something interesting. A sticker that refers to the "XHD3870XTG3". As you may know, AMD did away with the "XT" suffix on its video card names when it adopted its new "numbers only" strategy that begat the 3870 and 3850. This humble little sticker suggests an XT name may have been in the works at some point, before everything changed. Why does this matter? Eh, I dunno.

With sales predictions for this card being high, and production costs low, it's almost a no-brainer than many of ATI's partners would look into adding an HD 3650 to their line-up. Diamond Multimedia has, with the release of the Viper Radeon HD 3650 1GB, added not just one but two different variants. The first stuck with default specifications including clock speed and memory buffer, but at launch we hinted that there would be many models to choose from. Today we take a look at their second issue, which raises the total amount of memory to 1GB, but in doing so, uses lower cost, slower GDDR2 chips. In the pages ahead, we'll aim to find out if additional on-board memory really impacts performance more so than a smaller footprint of faster GDDR3 memory.
