The FireGL 9700 X1-128 was a professional graphics card by ATI, launched on July 23rd, 2002. Built on the 150 nm process, and based on the R300 graphics processor, in its R300 GL variant, the card supports DirectX 9.0. Since FireGL 9700 X1-128 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 FireGL 9700 X1-128, 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 FireGL 9700 X1-128 does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is not exactly known. Display outputs include: 2x DVI. FireGL 9700 X1-128 is connected to the rest of the system using an AGP 8x interface.
