ATI Mobility Radeon HD 550v

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 550v

The AMD ATI Mobility Radeon HD 550v is based on the same chip as the old Mobility Radeon HD 4650 but features slightly slower clock rates. Therefore the HD 550v is a mid-range graphics card for laptops supporting DirectX 10.1 in hardware which is still produced in 55nm. The performance should be a bit below the HD 4650 and therefore on a par with the GeForce GT 330M / 240M graphics card.

More information on the features of the HD 550v can be found on the GPU page of the HD 4650.
