Connectivity and outputs
This section shows the types and number of video connectors on each GPU. The data applies specifically to desktop reference models (for example, NVIDIA’s Founders Edition). OEM partners often modify both the number and types of ports. On notebook GPUs, video‐output options are determined by the laptop’s design rather than the graphics chip itself.
| Display Connectors | 1x DVI, 1x VGA, 1x S-Video | 1x DVI, 1x VGA, 1x S-Video |

Passmark
This is the most ubiquitous GPU benchmark. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various types of load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.

Pros & cons summary
| Performance score | 0.18 | 0.19 |
| Recency | 1 September 2004 | 1 March 2004 |
| Maximum RAM amount | 128 MB | 256 MB |
| Chip lithography | 110 nm | 130 nm |
| Power consumption (TDP) | 33 Watt | 63 Watt |
ATI X700 PRO has an age advantage of 6 months, a 18.2% more advanced lithography process, and 90.9% lower power consumption.
ATI X800 XT Platinum, on the other hand, has a 5.6% higher aggregate performance score, and a 100% higher maximum VRAM amount.
Given the minimal performance differences, no clear winner can be declared between Radeon X700 PRO and Radeon X800 XT Platinum.
