About the ATI Radeon 9550 SE GPU

The ATI Radeon 9550 SE is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q1 2003. It is built on the R300 GPU microarchitecture (codename RV350) and is manufactured on a 130 nm process.

Memory

The 9550 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 250 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 9550 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.
