Amongst the thick haze of Geforce 6800 and Radeon X800 reviews published, it may appear rather difficult for those of you looking for an affordable graphics card to make the right choice. Let's face it, not everyone can afford to spend the equivalent of a months car payment on the latest and greatest graphics card just for a little extra eye candy. Also, those of you interested in Home Theater PCs (HTPC) don't need an uber card either.

Today we’re going to stray a little from the rest of the pack and take a closer look at the recently released Chaintech Volari V3 card. Priced at about $47, this card certainly is one of the most affordable graphics cards you can find out there and is in the same price range as the nVidia Geforce MX 4000. However, unlike the Geforce MX 4000, the Volari V3 sports Vertex and Pixel Shaders support, the board has a DVI port and even more interesting, the Volari V3 seems to be the only card costing only $47 which supports HDTV up to 1080i .
