Sapphire HD 2400XT PCI-E Driver
Witness firsthand DirectX® 10 gaming and HD features without the prohibitive price tag. The Sapphire ATI Radeon™ HD 2400 XT provides next generation hardware that promises immersive high definition gaming for Windows Vista™ and DirectX® 10 to run the hot titles of today and tomorrow. Delivering a fully loaded HD feature-set including support for ATI Avivo™ HD, Blu-ray / HD DVD decoding via Universal Video Decoding technology, the Sapphire 2400 XT exceeds the demands of the performance hungry Media PC. The Sapphire Radeon™ HD 2400 XT with its robust hardware offerings such as: the much anticipated ATI Radeon™ HD 2400 XT GPU, support for up to 256MB of onboard memory, 64-bit memory interface, silent passive cooling, and PCI-E 16X support will provide the pixel pounding muscle to drive the feature rich Windows Vista™ 3D environment and increase productivity. When paired with Sapphire industry leading innovation in hardware, there is little doubt that the Sapphire 2400 XT will lead the industry in best features and value.
