Packaging & Contents
We have not received a final packaging with our sample card. Our package only had the card and a driver CD.
The Card
The design of our 2400 XT sample board looks a bit weird. I assume the PCB design will be changed slightly. When looking closely at the upper part we can see that there are almost no components except for the CrossFire connector and the debug test port. Since the final cards will not use a CrossFire adapter, I assume this design was mainly used for testing and developing the cards.
The back of the card is completely standard, it has two of the four memory chips on it.
The HD 2400 Series is a budget/OEM/office card. Most people in this segment probably have a display with analog input. The DVI port can of course be used with an analog adapter too, or with an HDMI adapter to get HDMI+Audio+HDCP.
