The ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO 256MB PCI-E DVI/S-Video Video Graphics Card is designed to improve your computer's visual capabilities, making it suitable for various applications, from general computing to multimedia tasks and light gaming. Released on June 28, 2007, this card is based on the RV610 graphics processor, built on a 65 nm process with 180 million transistors, ensuring efficient performance.

Equipped with 256 MB of DDR2 memory connected via a 64-bit memory interface, the card operates at a core clock speed of 525 MHz and a memory clock speed of 400 MHz (800 Mbps effective). This configuration provides a memory bandwidth of 6.4 GB/s, facilitating smooth rendering of graphics and videos.

The Radeon HD 2400 PRO features 40 shading units, 4 texture mapping units, and 4 render output units, supporting DirectX 10.0 and OpenGL 3.3. These capabilities enable the card to handle modern graphics APIs, allowing for improved visual effects and compatibility with a wide range of applications.

Designed with a single-slot form factor, the card has a thermal design power (TDP) of 20 W, making it energy-efficient and suitable for systems with limited power budgets. It does not require additional power connectors, drawing all necessary power directly from the PCI Express x16 interface. The card offers various display output options, including DVI, VGA, and S-Video, providing flexibility for connecting to different display devices.

This graphics card is particularly beneficial for users seeking to upgrade integrated graphics solutions or replace an outdated GPU. Its support for DirectX 10.0 ensures compatibility with a variety of applications and games, although it may not be suitable for running the latest, graphically intensive titles. The card's low power consumption and efficient design make it an excellent choice for enhancing multimedia experiences, such as video playback and light gaming, without significant upgrades to the existing system infrastructure.
