Powercolor HD 3650 Xtreme 512 MB

The Card

After handling all these powerful NVIDIA cards in the last weeks I suddenly felt surprised by the small size of the HD 3650's PCB. Why a dual slot cooler was chosen for this card is not apparent to me, but the target market for these card should not have any space issues anyway.


The card features two DVI outputs which can be used with digital flat panels for resolutions up to 2560x1600. In case you still have an old analog display you can use the included DVI adapter. HDMI+HDCP+Audio is also supported, the adapter you need is included in the box. All recent ATI cards support digital HDMI audio as well. This is achieved by a sound card device integrated inside the graphics chip. When the driver is installed it will show up as a sound card in Windows, play audio on it and it will be included in the HDMI datastream going to your TV.


Here are the front and the back of the card, high-res versions are also available (front, back). If you choose to use these images for voltmods etc, please include a link back to this site.
