Ati Radeon Hd 3470

[Bartolome Beacham]

Thereare so many questions that you need to ask yourself while you're looking into getting a home theater PC. Not only will your shopping list for parts be fairly long, but you'll have to answer the following questions before you purchase anything. What motherboard should I get? Do I absolutely need a video card? Or will the motherboard's onboard video be sufficient? Today we're going to answer those very questions, as well as many others.

The ATI HD 3470 is a newly released video card from ATI that was designed specifically for HTPCs. ATi has also recently released 3450 and 3650 models at about the same time as this 3470 that we received. These 3400 series cards are not made for gaming, so don't expect to see very high frame rates in games. This HD 3470 supports high definition video, DirectX 10, VGA and DVI outputs, among other technologies. Will this ATI HD 3470 be a must-have for HTPCs? Does it perform better than a motherboard's onboard video? Join me as I thoroughly investigate the ATI HD 3450 HTPC video card.

We received an OEM version of the ATI HD 3470, so there were no instructions, driver CDs, or accesories included. The ATI HD 3470 is a PCI-Express x16 card and while it's smaller than I anticipated, I can already tell that this card will produce very little, if any, sound. This is because the fan is very small and even at full power I'm guessing that the fan can't make too much noise. I took the heatsink off of the GPU so that you can see the memory chips and the GPU itself. The thermal paste on the GPU was extremely hard to get off. It was almost like dried peanut butter.

Price and performance details for the Radeon HD 3470 can be found below.This is made using thousands of PerformanceTestbenchmark results and is updated daily.The first graph shows the relative performance of the videocard compared to the 10other common videocards in terms of PassMark G3D Mark.The 2nd graph shows the value for money, in terms of the G3DMark per dollar.

After upgrading an operating system from WIN7 to WIN10, no screen display is transferred to an HDMI jack. The video card is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 [Acer] and the driver is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series

ATI started Mobility Radeon HD 3470 sales 8 January 2007. This is a laptop graphics card based on a RV6xx architecture and made with 55 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamers. 256 MB of DDR2/GDDR3 memory clocked at 800 GHz are supplied, and together with 64 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 6.4 GB/s.

This is the most ubiquitous GPU benchmark, part of Passmark PerformanceTest suite. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various types of load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.

I have a toshiba a305 with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470. I havent seen any drivers around for it, anyone know of any? I finally got the mouse, keyboard and everything to work. Sound worked out of the box thank god. I just need the correct video driver to have a fully functional hackintosh again! As you can see from my signature, i had one before...

I am looking at purchasing this laptop and would like to know if the video drivers are supported yet aswell. failing being supported is there another laptop out there with similar features and price that is compatible for hackintosh

Usually I use the system mostly with the external display only which is impossible now because of the flickering issue. I would like to keep dual display mode working with no problems as it is right now, but also to fix the issue when only the external display is on.

Unfortunately I believe it's a long-standing bug and I haven't found a fix or workaround EXCEPT to never close the lid or put the laptop to sleep. I figure there probably is a way to fix it, but the Radeon folks are not available or motivated to fix a bug affecting a long-discontinued chip.

About the only things you can do to get it fixed is verify it's the same bug (it sounds like it to me, but you'll want to be sure) click the "this affects me too" button in launchpad, and maybe look to see if it's getting any attention with the radeon folks "upstream" of Ubuntu.
