This is one of the cards that were mid-range once upon a time

At one point in the past, before CPUs with integrated graphics, video cards on the level with AMD's Radeon HD 7730 were considered mainstream.

Now, though, with Intel's HD integrated graphics, and AMD's much stronger Radeon GPUs inside APUs, they represent the low end of the add-in card industry.

TUL Corporation has just released one such adapter, under the PowerColor Brand.

Called PowerColor HD7730, it has 1 GB of GDDR5 VRAM, or 1/2 GB of DDr3 memory.

The GPU (384 Stream Processors) runs at 800 MHz in both cases, while the memory operates at 1125 MHz (4500 MHz effective) and 800 MHz (1600 MHz effective), respectively.

The video cards boast CrossFire support, DirectX 11, AMD ZeroCore Power technology, and HD3D technology.

Connections to monitors are established via HDMI, VGA and/or dual-link DVI.
