Die Shot

ATI's R300 GPU uses the R300 architecture and is made using a 150 nm production process at TSMC. With a die size of 215 mm² and a transistor count of 110 million it is a medium-sized chip. R300 supports DirectX 9.0 (Feature Level 9_0). Modern GPU compute technologies are not available. 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).
