The Radeon 9800 PRO was a high-end graphics card by ATI, launched on October 1st, 2003. Built on the 150 nm process, and based on the R360 graphics processor, in its R360 variant, the card supports DirectX 9.0. Since Radeon 9800 PRO does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The R360 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 218 mm² and 117 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 256 MB DDR memory with the Radeon 9800 PRO, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 380 MHz, memory is running at 340 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the ATI Radeon 9800 PRO draws power from 1x Molex power connector, with power draw rated at 47 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 1x VGA, 1x S-Video. Radeon 9800 PRO is connected to the rest of the system using an AGP 8x interface. The card's dimensions are 215 mm x 108 mm x 16 mm, and it features a single-slot cooling solution. Its price at launch was 399 US Dollars.
