ATI FireGL V3600: specs and benchmarks
Summary
ATI started FireGL V3600 sales 28 June 2007 at a recommended price of $299. This is a TeraScale architecture desktop card based on 65 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 256 MB of DDR2 memory clocked at 1 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 16 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is single-slot card attached via PCIe 1.0 x16 interface. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 73 Watt.
