Radeon X550 HyperMemory: specs and benchmarks
Contents
Summary
ATI started Radeon X550 HyperMemory sales 1 July 2005. This is a desktop graphics card based on a Rage 9 architecture and made with 110 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 256 MB of DDR2 memory clocked at 0.25 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 8 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is a single-slot graphics card attached via PCIe 1.0 x16 interface.
