The Radeon VE PCI was a graphics card by ATI, launched on February 19th, 2001. Built on the 180 nm process, and based on the Rage 6 graphics processor, in its Radeon VE variant, the card supports DirectX 7.0. Since Radeon VE PCI does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The Rage 6 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 115 mm² and 30 million transistors. It features 1 pixel shader and 0 vertex shaders, 3 texture mapping units, and 1 ROP. 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 32 MB DDR memory with the Radeon VE PCI, which are connected using a 64-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 183 MHz, memory is running at 183 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the ATI Radeon VE PCI does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 23 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 1x VGA, 1x S-Video. Radeon VE PCI is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI interface.
