ATI Radeon 9500: specs and benchmarks
Summary
ATI started Radeon 9500 sales 1 March 2003. This is a desktop graphics card based on a Rage 8 architecture and made with 150 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 64 MB of DDR memory clocked at 0.54 GHz are supplied, and together with 256 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 17.28 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is single-slot card attached via AGP 8x interface. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 12 Watt.
We have no data on Radeon 9500 benchmark results.

Benchmark performance
Synthetic benchmark performance of Radeon 9500. The combined score is measured on a 0-100 point scale.
Passmark
This is the most ubiquitous GPU benchmark, part of Passmark PerformanceTest suite. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various types of load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.
