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

Pros & cons summary

Performance score	0.17	8.79
Recency	1 September 2004	30 August 2015
Maximum RAM amount	128 MB	1 GB
Chip lithography	110 nm	28 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	44 Watt	225 Watt

ATI X700 has 411.4% lower power consumption.

GRID M60-1Q, on the other hand, has a 5070.6% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 10 years, a 700% higher maximum VRAM amount, and a 292.9% more advanced lithography process.

The GRID M60-1Q is our recommended choice as it beats the Radeon X700 in performance tests.

Be aware that Radeon X700 is a desktop graphics card while GRID M60-1Q is a workstation one.
