Radeon VE/7000
Radeon VE / 7000 - budget solution of the Radeon series
Having launched a whole line of RADEON-based cards, ATI was concerned that in the low-budget systems sector and where 3D graphics were not needed (and more emphasis was placed on 2D work and image output to two receivers), the Matrox G450 and NVIDIA GeForce2 MX TwinView began to compete with each other. At that time, ATI had no products in this area. And then came RADEON VE, which can give the user an even better solution than the above-mentioned competitors. ATI significantly cut the 3D part of this processor, so RADEON VE cards would have been more successful if 3D had been a little stronger. Later, video cards based on this processor were renamed RADEON 7000 (both 32- and 64-megabyte versions).
