With the release of the Radeon HD 2600XT in June 2007, ATi had a mainstream DX10 and unified shader gaming part to compete with the likes of the Geforce 8600GT. Unlike the 2900XT, with it's insane power consumption and thermals, the
2600XT was by far more reasonable, with no external power
necessary thanks to a 65nm process instead of the formers 80nm, and of course a much smaller GPU die.

It did mean a massively smaller shader array of 120 Stream Processors in the 2600XT but 192 GFLOPs was nothing to really scoff at when it only cost $150 US at launch.

So how did the 2600XT really fare in the games released during it's practical time frame? Let's find out with this Sapphire made
Radeon HD 2600XT with 512 MB of GDDR3 VRAM!
