ATI FireGL X3-256 Specs - TechPowerUp GPU Database
The FireGL X3-256 was a enthusiast-class professional graphics card by ATI, launched in
August 2004. Built on the 130 nm process, and based on the R420 graphics processor, in
its R420 GL variant, the card supports DirectX 9.0b. Since FireGL X3-256 does not support
DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The R420 graphics
processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 281 mm² and 160 million transistors.
It features 12 pixel shaders and 6 vertex shaders, 12 texture mapping units and 12 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 GDDR3 memory with the
FireGL X3-256, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is
operating at a frequency of 491 MHz, memory is running at 454 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the ATI FireGL X3-256 draws power from 1x Molex power
