Today we will be analyzing three video cards based on the ATI Radeon X1650XT GPU, also known by its codename the RV560. All three proposals are aimed at the mid-range segment of the market.
The RV560 GPU is manufactured under an 80nm manufacturing process and is able to reach operating frequencies of 575 MHz for the core and 1.35 GHz for memory. The GPU comes with 8 vertex shading units, 24 pixel shading units, and 8 rendering pipelines with one TMU and ROP for each pipeline.

The table lists the technical characteristics of all three video cards we will be reviewing today. The characteristics of the cards are nearly identical save for a few changes in the operating frequencies of the core and memory. Physically, the HIS Radeon X1650XT differs from the other video cards by being the only one that comes with a dual-slot cooling solution.
All three video cards we analyzed are Windows Vista compatible and come with HDCP technology.
