Alas, even today's mid-range GPUs require active cooling.
The first thing that stuck out to me was the heatsink and fan, as this isn't something I'm used to seeing on anything but high-end cards. It's a small card, and has brackets that fit both low-profile and full-profile systems.įor a mid-range card, I can't help but call the card sexy. The card itself came wrapped up in the typical anti-static wrap.

Also inside were a driver CD, component cable, HDMI dongle, and a VGA dongle. Inside, I found the card packed in nice and securely in a cardboard box. The back of the box lists several more features and awards, as well as the fact that the cards plays nicely with Vista. Along with this are the various certifications, as well as Sapphire's improvements such as PCI-Express 2.0 and 512MB of DDR3. The card's title is printed nice and large, and a cute female with a rather large sword takes up the rest of the box's front side. The Radeon HD4550 shipped to us in a box roughly half the size of that of their high-end cards we've seen in the past.
It's not quite as beefy as the Radeon HD4650, but it can be found for an average of $30 less. The Radeon HD4550 features 512MB of DDR3 memory, a 600MHz core clock, and 80 stream processors. The folks at Sapphire were kind enough to send their Radeon HD4550 card at the same time, which will be on the table today. We were impressed by the features and performance of the card, especially at it's very moderating pricing. recently looked at Sapphire's Radeon HD4650 videocard, one of the latest mid-range offerings based on AMD's ATI brand of GPUs.
