Radeon X600: specs and benchmarks

VS

Aggregate performance score

Radeon X600 provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 0.13% of a leader's which is GeForce RTX 4090.

Summary

ATI started Radeon X600 sales 1 September 2004. This is a Rage 9 architecture desktop card based on 110 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at office use. 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.
