Block Diagram

ATI's R580 GPU uses the Ultra-Threaded SE architecture and is made using a 90 nm production process at TSMC. With a die size of 352 mm² and a transistor count of 384 million it is a large chip. R580 supports DirectX 9.0c (Feature Level 9_3). Modern GPU compute technologies are not available. It features 48 pixel shaders and 8 vertex shaders, 16 texture mapping units and 16 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).
