When ATi launched the RV770 last summer, few could predict the amount of chaos that was brought onto the market. Even today, the barrage of products and the assault on NVIDIA continues, with the Sapphire Radeon HD 4550. But today, we look at things from a different perspective. The 4850, 4870 and the X2 series handle the gaming side of things very well, but the price point of the HD 4550 aims toward a very different market. While we still look at the gaming capabilities of this card, the testing will be primarily geared for HTPC and HD playback applications.
