ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT: specs and benchmarks

VS

Summary

ATI started Radeon HD 2600 XT sales 28 June 2007 at a recommended price of $199 . This is a TeraScale architecture desktop card based on 65 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at office use. 256 MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 1.4 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 22.4 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 45 Watt.

It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 0.73% of a leader's which is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
