While obviously a little late to the party, Bjorn3D has just posted a solid overview of AMD-ATI’s next-generation Radeon HD 2400 and HD 2600 series.

Here’s what they had to say:

“If gaming is the main reason for buying a new video card you can get either a NVIDIA or an AMD card. You probably will not notice much difference. I personally would try to save more money and get a 8800GTS or a HD2900XT but the HD2600XT is adequate for regular gaming as long as you do not expect it to perform miracles. The HD2400XT though really falls short in the performance department and even though AMD told me that many bought the X1300 for gaming I hope that these people will buy a few games less and put their money on a better card.”


Overall, both cards perform comparably with their respective Geforce competition in gaming. If you are merely a casual gamer, and prefer watching movies, the Radeons provide excellent high-definition media playback. However, as the author mentions, if you are a gamer, save up your money and buy the higher-end 8800/2900 series cards.
