The Radeon X1950 PRO AGP was a graphics card by ATI, launched on October 25th, 2006. Built on the 80 nm process, and based on the RV570 graphics processor, in its RV570 XT variant, the card supports DirectX 9.0c. Since Radeon X1950 PRO AGP does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The RV570 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 230 mm² and 312 million transistors. It features 36 pixel shaders and 8 vertex shaders, 12 texture mapping units, and 12 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 512 MB GDDR3 memory with the Radeon X1950 PRO AGP, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 575 MHz, memory is running at 690 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the ATI Radeon X1950 PRO AGP draws power from 2x Molex power connectors, with power draw rated at 66 W maximum. Display outputs include: 2x DVI, 1x S-Video. Radeon X1950 PRO AGP is connected to the rest of the system using an AGP 8x interface.
