ATI FireGL X2-256T: specs and benchmarks
Contents
Summary
ATI started FireGL X2-256T sales 1 October 2003. This is a Rage 9 architecture desktop card based on 150 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 256 MB of DDR2 memory clocked at 0.34 GHz are supplied, and together with 256 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 22.02 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is a single-slot graphics card attached via AGP 8x interface. 1x Molex power connector is required.
