Compatibility, dimensions and requirements
Information on Radeon X850 PRO's compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop graphics cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility).
| Interface | PCIe 1.0 x16 | |
| Width | 1-slot | |
| Supplementary power connectors | 1x 6-pin |
Memory
Parameters of memory installed on Radeon X850 PRO: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors have no dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM instead.
| Memory type | GDDR3 | |
| Maximum RAM amount | 256 MB | of 128 (Radeon Instinct MI250X) |
| Memory bus width | 256 Bit | of 8192 (Radeon Instinct MI250X) |
| Memory clock speed | 1040 MHz | of 22400 (GeForce RTX 4080) |
| Memory bandwidth | 33.28 GB/s | of 14400 (Radeon R7 M260) |
Video outputs and ports
Types and number of video connectors present on Radeon X850 PRO. As a rule, this section is relevant only for desktop reference graphics cards, since for notebook ones the availability of certain video outputs depends on the laptop model, while non-reference desktop models can (though not necessarily will) bear a different set of video ports.
| Display Connectors | 1x DVI, 1x VGA, 1x S-Video |
API support
APIs supported by Radeon X850 PRO, sometimes including their particular versions.
| DirectX | 9.0b (9_2) | |
| OpenGL | 2.0 | of 4.6 (GeForce GTX 1080 Mobile) |
| OpenCL | N/A | |
| Vulkan | N/A |
Benchmark performance
Non-gaming benchmark performance of Radeon X850 PRO. Note that overall benchmark performance is measured in points in 0-100 range.
- Passmark
Passmark
This is probably the most ubiquitous benchmark, part of Passmark PerformanceTest suite. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various 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.
