The FireGL V5000 was an enthusiast-class professional graphics card by ATI, launched on September 1st, 2004. Built on the 110 nm process, and based on the RV410 graphics processor, in its RV410 GL variant, the card supports DirectX 9.0b. Since FireGL V5000 does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The RV410 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 156 mm² and 120 million transistors. It features 8 pixel shaders and 6 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 GDDR3 memory with the FireGL V5000, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 425 MHz, memory is running at 430 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the ATI FireGL V5000 does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is not exactly known. Display outputs include: 2x DVI, 1x S-Video. FireGL V5000 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 1.0 x16 interface. The card measures 183 mm in length, 111 mm in width, and features a single-slot cooling solution. Its price at launch was 699 US Dollars.
