Radeon HD 3470: specs and benchmarks

Summary

ATI started Radeon HD 3470 sales 23 January 2008. This is a desktop graphics card based on a TeraScale architecture and made with 55 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 256 MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 1.9 GHz are supplied, and together with 64 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 15.2 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is single-slot card attached via PCIe 2.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 168 mm. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 30 Watt.
