Passmark

This is the most ubiquitous GPU benchmark. 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.

Pros & cons summary

Performance score	0.13	0.01
Recency	1 September 2004	19 February 2001
Maximum RAM amount	128 MB	32 MB
Chip lithography	110 nm	180 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	36 Watt	23 Watt

ATI X600 SE has a 1200% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 3 years, a 300% higher maximum VRAM amount, and a 63.6% more advanced lithography process.

ATI 7000, on the other hand, has 56.5% lower power consumption.

The Radeon X600 SE is our recommended choice as it beats the Radeon 7000 in performance tests.
