Radeon 9000: specs and benchmarks
Aggregate performance score
Radeon 9000 provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 0.01% of a leader's which is GeForce RTX 4090.
Summary
ATI started Radeon 9000 sales 1 July 2002. This is a Rage 7 architecture desktop card based on 150 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at office use. 64 MB of DDR memory clocked at 0.2 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 6.4 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is a single-slot graphics card attached via AGP 4x interface. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 28 Watt.
