About the ATI Radeon HD 4850 X2 GPU

The ATI Radeon HD 4850 X2 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q4 2008 with a MSRP of $420. It is built on the TeraScale GPU microarchitecture (codename R700) and is manufactured on a 55 nm process.

Memory

The HD 4850 X2 has 512 MB of GDDR3 memory, with a 995 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 63.68 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 HD 4850 X2 includes 800 shading units, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 625 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 40 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The HD 4850 X2 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, S-Video display connections. ATI recommends a power supply of at least 600 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 250 W.
