Ati Radeon HD2400XT
After lagging slightly behind in the high-end enthusiast range of graphics cards, ATI decided to strike back with the budget cards. The successor to the popular X1300 cards plans to deliver unparalleled HD media support, high image quality and superior 3D performance in this entry level market.
Feature wise the HD2400XT offers everything the higher end brothers do, as well as hardware video acceleration, something that the X2900 cards aren’t capable of.

ATI decided to go with a very non standard card shape – instead of cutting the card short they went with a design that makes it look as if there is a part of the PCB missing. The two memory modules can be seen on the second picture, whereas the first one shows the very basic cooler the reference HD2400 cards will have.
Not unlike the 8400GS cards on test today the HD2400XT comes equipped with a VGA, TV-Out and a DVI connector. The DVI connector is dual-link enabled and can, with the help of a DVI-to-HDMI adapter, display HDCP content to HDMI devices.
