Radeon X600: specs and benchmarks
Summary
ATI started Radeon X600 sales 1 September 2004. 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 DDR 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. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 36 Watt.
