The Radeon HD 4550 was an entry-level graphics card by ATI, launched on September 30th, 2008. Built on the 55 nm process, and based on the RV710 graphics processor, in its RV710 HD4550 variant, the card supports DirectX 10.1. Since Radeon HD 4550 does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The RV710 graphics processor is a relatively small chip with a die area of only 73 mm² and 242 million transistors. It features 80 shading units, 8 texture mapping units, and 4 ROPs. ATI has paired 256 MB DDR2 memory with the Radeon HD 4550, which are connected using a 64-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 600 MHz, memory is running at 655 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the ATI Radeon HD 4550 does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 25 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 1x HDMI 1.3a, 1x DisplayPort 1.0. Radeon HD 4550 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 2.0 x16 interface. The card measures 168 mm in length, and features a single-slot cooling solution. Its price at launch was 59 US Dollars.
