HIS Excalibur 9550 VIVO:

**MIG-31** · Jul 16, 2004, 06:53 AM

We take a look at a budget card based that is a good choice for casual gamers, and features VIVO as well.

Currently when you look at most hardware websites, you will see reviews and articles on ATI's X800 and NVIDIA's 6800 graphics cards, both top of the line and the latest tech. So you can easily be forgiven for missing ATI's release of a lower end chipset based on the 9600 core, the 9550.

The 9550 is aimed at the same area of the market as NVIDIA's 5500, providing for the budget owners and infrequent gamers amongst the buying public, which make up the majority of sales. HIS have provided us with their Excalibur 9550 ViVo card with iFan and 128mb, which has a few added features for a card that won't break the bank.
