GameCube GPU: specs and benchmarks

Summary

ATI started GameCube GPU sales 24 August 2000. This is a desktop graphics card based on a Rage 5 architecture and made with 180 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 16 MB of SDR memory clocked at 0.16 GHz are supplied, and together with 64 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 1.296 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is an integrated video card. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 45 Watt.

Size and compatibility

This section provides details about the physical dimensions of GameCube GPU and its compatibility with other computer components. This information is useful when selecting a computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop graphics cards, it includes details about the interface and bus (for motherboard compatibility) and additional power connectors (for power supply compatibility).

Interface	IGP
Width	IGP

Memory

Parameters of memory installed on GameCube GPU: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors have no dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM instead.

Memory type	SDR
Maximum RAM amount	16 MB	of 192 (Radeon Instinct MI300X)
Memory bus width	64 Bit	of 8192 (Radeon Instinct MI250X)
Memory clock speed	162 MHz	of 23000 (GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER)
Memory bandwidth	1.296 GB/s	of 3276 (Aldebaran)

Video outputs and ports

Types and number of video connectors present on GameCube GPU. As a rule, this section is relevant only for desktop reference graphics cards, since for notebook ones the availability of certain video outputs depends on the laptop model, while non-reference desktop models can (though not necessarily will) bear a different set of video ports.

Display Connectors

No outputs

API support

APIs supported by GameCube GPU, sometimes including their particular versions.

DirectX	6.0+
OpenGL	N/A	of 4.6 (GeForce GTX 1080 Mobile)
OpenCL	N/A
Vulkan	N/A

Benchmark performance

Synthetic benchmark performance of GameCube GPU. The combined score is measured on a 0-100 point scale.
