Radeon X550: specs and benchmarks
Summary
ATI started Radeon X550 sales 1 July 2005. This is a desktop graphics card based on a Rage 9 architecture and made with 110 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 128 MB of DDR memory clocked at 0.5 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 8 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is single-slot card attached via PCIe 1.0 x16 interface.

Benchmark performance
Synthetic benchmark performance of Radeon X550. The combined score is measured on a 0-100 point scale.
Passmark
This is the most ubiquitous GPU benchmark, part of Passmark PerformanceTest suite. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various types of load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.
