Radeon X1600 XT: specs and benchmarks
Aggregate performance score
Radeon X1600 XT provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 0.30% of a leader's which is GeForce RTX 4090.
Summary
ATI started Radeon X1600 XT sales 1 October 2007. This is a R500 architecture desktop card based on 90 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at office use. 256 MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 0.69 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 22.08 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is a single-slot graphics card attached via PCIe 1.0 x16 interface. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 42 Watt.
