Performance, by the Numbers

Under the hood you'll find 157 million transistors on a 90nm fabrication process; 12 pixel shader processors; 5 vertex shader processors; 512 MB of 128-bit, 4-channel GDDR3 memory; and an external bridge chip that supports AGP 4x and 8x interfaces. The card also features a ring bus memory controller for 256-bit memory reads, which is optimized for performance at high-display resolutions.

The Radeon X1600 also supports impressive shader performance with Shader Model 3.0--now you can see incredible details never before visible. The X1600 also allows you to experience simultaneous high dynamic range rendering and advanced adaptive anti-aliasing for incredible enhancements to lighting contour and color details. Take the edge off of jagged wires and strands of hair, while experiencing photorealistic lighting.
