PowerColor is known to supercharge high-end GPUs from time to time, but it also occasionally dabbles with something a little more conservative.
Take for example the newly-launched quartet of GO! GREEN Radeon HD GPUs. The parts, based on AMD's ATI Radeon HD 4670, 4650 and 4350 SKUs, promise a derivative of PowerColor's SCS (Silent Cooling Solution), along with lower power consumption.
Topping the range is the GO! GREEN SCS3 HD4670 HDMI, pictured below left. Beneath the card's giant passive heatsink - which is certain to occupy at least two PCI slots - is a GPU clocked at 750MHz and 1GB of GDDR3 memory connected to a 128-bit interface. Connectivity options come in the form of DVI, VGA and HDMI.
A little further down the ladder there's the GO! GREEN SCS3 HD4650. The silenty-cooled 4650-variant is stock clocked at 600MHz for the GPU, features 512MB/1GB of DDR2 memory depending on model and sports dual DVI connectors.
Heading into budget territory, there's a pair that might be useful for a basic HTPC. The GO! GREEN HD4350 HDMI and GO! GREEN SCS HD4350, both based on AMD's ATI Radeon HD 4350, feature a GPU clocked at 600MHz and either 1GB/512MB/256MB of DDR2 memory depending on model. The HDMI-branded card offers VGA, DVI and HDMI connectivity, while the HDMI-less alternative takes on a low-profile design.
No word on availability or pricing, but we'd expect all four cards to show up in the very near future.
