Summary
About the ATI Radeon 9600 SE GPU
The ATI Radeon 9600 SE is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q4 2003. It is built on the R300 GPU microarchitecture (codename RV350) and is manufactured on a 130 nm process.
Memory
The 9600 SE has 64 MB of DDR memory, with a 200 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 3.2 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 325 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 4 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 4 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The 9600 SE is a compact, low-profile graphics card that fits into 1 PCIe expansion slot. It supports DVI, VGA, S-Video display connections. ATI recommends a power supply of at least 200 W to handle the GPU's power consumption. Using a smaller power supply may result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
About the ATI Radeon X800 XT GPU
The ATI Radeon X800 XT is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q4 2004 with a MSRP of $499. It is built on the R400 GPU microarchitecture (codename R423) and is manufactured on a 130 nm process.
Memory
The X800 XT has 256 MB of GDDR3 memory, with a 500 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 32 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 500 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 16 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The X800 XT is a compact, low-profile graphics card that fits into 1 PCIe expansion slot. It supports DVI, VGA, S-Video display connections. ATI recommends a power supply of at least 250 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 54 W.
