The FireGL 9800 X2-256T was a professional graphics card by ATI, launched on October 1st, 2003. Built on the 150 nm process, and based on the R360 graphics processor, in its R360 GL variant, the card supports DirectX 9.0. Since FireGL 9800 X2-256T does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The R360 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 218 mm² and 117 million transistors. It features 8 pixel shaders and 4 vertex shaders, 8 texture mapping units, and 8 ROPs. Due to the lack of unified shaders you will not be able to run recent games at all (which require unified shader/DX10+ support). ATI has paired 256 MB DDR2 memory with the FireGL 9800 X2-256T, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 412 MHz, memory is running at 344 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the ATI FireGL 9800 X2-256T draws power from 1x Molex power connector, with power draw not exactly known. Display outputs include: 2x DVI. FireGL 9800 X2-256T is connected to the rest of the system using an AGP 8x interface.
