Radeon VE: specs and benchmarks
Contents
Summary
ATI started Radeon VE sales 19 February 2001. This is a desktop graphics card based on a Rage 6 architecture and made with 180 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 32 MB of DDR memory clocked at 0.18 GHz are supplied, and together with 64 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 2.928 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is a single-slot graphics card attached via AGP 4x interface. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 23 Watt.
