It's the DDR2 version. It's supposed to perform up to par with DDR2 8600M GT. Which has more mature drivers than HD2600.

Re: F3SA-A1 ATI Mobility HD2600 Game and Benchmark
Yup, this is a very similar score to the DDR2 8600M-GT, considering the poor driver support for the HD2600.

Re: F3SA-A1 ATI Mobility HD2600 Game and Benchmark
Thats at 1280 x 800 and the ati cards are known to perform better in 3dmark which does not reflect its in game potential.

It's only 200-300 lower than a DDR2 8600M-GT at the same resolution, which could easily be rectified with better drivers.

Re: F3SA-A1 ATI Mobility HD2600 Game and Benchmark
According to ATI the Catalyst 7.9 should improve the performance especially BioShock, I am going to download the mod driver to see if the score will be better.

Re: F3SA-A1 ATI Mobility HD2600 Game and Benchmark
SM 2.0 score is very low compared to 8600M GT DDR2.
BTW I hope future drivers will perform better .
Someone please add some FRAPS screen shots

Re: F3SA-A1 ATI Mobility HD2600 Game and Benchmark
You guys should realize that the HD2600 was never meant to compete with the 8600M GT. After long development delays from ATI, they finally released it two months after the 8600M chip, and it performs somewhere between the 8600M GS and 8600M GT. So don't expect stellar performance out of it. It won't ever be as powerful as the 8600M GT.
I overclocked my 8600M GS with 256mb DDR2, to 650 Core, 550 Clock, using nTune and 163.44 modded drivers, and got the 3203 in 3DMark 06. So clearly it is very comparable in performance to the HD2600, when it is overclocked of course.
