The Radeon 9700 PRO was a graphics card by ATI, launched on August 19th, 2002. Built on the 150 nm process, and based on the R300 graphics processor, in its R300 9700 PRO variant, the card supports DirectX 9.0. Since Radeon 9700 PRO does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The R300 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 215 mm² and 110 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 128 MB DDR memory with the Radeon 9700 PRO, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 325 MHz, memory is running at 310 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the ATI Radeon 9700 PRO draws power from Floppy power connector, with power draw not exactly known. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 1x VGA, 1x S-Video. Radeon 9700 PRO is connected to the rest of the system using an AGP 8x interface.
