ATI FireGL V7200: specs and benchmarks

Summary

ATI started FireGL V7200 sales 1 October 2005 at a recommended price of $1,279 . This is a R400 architecture desktop card based on 130 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 256 MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 1.3 GHz are supplied, and together with 256 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 41.6 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is dual-slot card attached via PCIe 1.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 229 mm. 1x 6-pin power connector is required.
