writes Club3D has introduced a new Radeon HD 4350 graphics card that uses the PCI Express x1 interface. The card uses about 20W and is passively cooled by a cooling solution that takes up two slots. There are HDMI, DVI and VGA outputs, and the pricing should be just under 40EUR.
The card could make life a bit worse for Nvidia AIBs who have launched ION boards. It will allow nettop/HTPC enthusiasts to get discrete graphics at virtually the same cost as an ION board. Club3D's HD 4350 is reference clocked, so it packs an RV710 at 600MHz and it has 512MB of DDR2 memory clocked at 400MHz. Doesn't sound like much, but it's probably more than enough to outpace an ION.
