11160-01-20R | Sapphire Radeon HD 3450 - 512MB DDR2, 64-bit, VGA, DVI, HDMI, Fansink - AGP8x

SAPPHIRE HD3450 512MB DDR2 AGP

The SAPPHIRE HD 3450 AGP brings the features of the highly acclaimed HD 3000 series to the users of older PC systems with the AGP graphics bus. In addition to dramatically increased graphics performance, this means support for all the latest generation of games with DirectX 10.1 and the ability to smoothly play HD and Blu-Ray DVDs with the built-in hardware UVD decoder. It also allows users to accelerate tasks such as video transcoding (converting video formats to play on portable devices) and other new applications supporting ATI Stream technology.
