To retain modest pricing, it's common to see lower-end graphics cards equipped with either DDR2 or DDR3. That design choice, though, can have a major effect on performance, something that's proven twice over with AMD's Radeon HD 5550 and HD 5570, both of which have just been upgraded with a move to GDDR5 memory.

The bottom line on the XFX card is: this card is priced online for $109.99 which is the MSRP ATI suggests for this card. You get the performance, features and support that you would expect from a card with the XFX branding. XFX bundles their usual hardware and the driver CD comes with an automatic link to the best drivers suited for the card. DirectX 10.1 games have started hitting store shelves, improving performance in games that support it. Buying a $100 video card used to mean sacrificing performance, or features, but the $110 video card of today has both in abundance. ATI is the first video chip company to move to 40 nanometer manufacturing technology, providing lower power consumption, smaller die sizes and more performance than the same sized chip on an older manufacturing process like 55nm.
