ATI All-In-Wonder 9000 PRO

The ATI All-In-Wonder 9000 PRO is an end-of-life graphics card built on the Rage 7 architecture, using the RV250 chip manufactured by AMD and fabricated by TSMC on a 150 nm process. It integrates 36 million transistors into a 97 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 371.1K per mm². Released in 2003, the card interfaces via AGP 8x and occupies a single slot. Its memory subsystem consists of 64 MB of DDR running at 270 MHz (540 Mbps effective) across a 128-bit bus, producing 8.640 GB/s of bandwidth. With 4 TMUs and 4 ROPs, it delivers a pixel rate of 1.100 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 1.100 GTexel/s. The database records a 50th percentile ranking among all GPUs and an average benchmark score of 0.

Memory Subsystem

The 64 MB DDR frame buffer is the primary constraint for high-resolution work. At 128 bits wide, the bus is respectable for its generation, but the capacity forces a trade-off: textures must be compressed or reduced to avoid spilling out of VRAM. The memory clock of 270 MHz produces a 540 Mbps effective data rate, and when multiplied across the 128-bit bus, this yields exactly 8.640 GB/s of bandwidth. That figure is adequate for 1024x768 or 1280x1024 with moderate settings, but at higher resolutions the 64 MB limit becomes the bottleneck. The pixel rate of 1.100 GPixel/s further caps fill-rate-heavy scenes, meaning that even if the bus were wider, the ROPs would limit output. For a card of this era, the 128-bit bus is a positive feature, but the capacity is the decisive factor. The bandwidth of 8.640 GB/s is shared between the frame buffer and texture data, so scenes with heavy texture streaming will see performance drop. In practice, the memory subsystem is balanced for its time but not future-proof. The 540 Mbps effective rate is a doubling of the 270 MHz clock, a standard DDR behavior, and it keeps the card within a low power envelope. Users should expect to run at lower resolutions with reduced texture detail to stay within the 64 MB limit.

How It Compares

The data set lists no nearest rivals for this part, so direct competitor comparisons are not possible. The card's position is defined by its 50th percentile ranking among all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 0. That places it exactly at the median of the GPU population, indicating a middle-of-the-road part. Without rival entries, the analysis falls back on absolute specifications: 4 TMUs, 4 ROPs, and a 1.100 GTexel/s texture rate. The 200 W suggested PSU and single-slot design give a sense of its physical footprint. The lack of rival data means no deltaPct values are available to quantify advantages or deficits. The 50th percentile is a meaningful anchor, however, showing that this card neither leads nor lags the field. Its AGP 8x interface is a legacy standard, which limits its comparison to modern parts. The empty nearestRivals field is itself a data point, indicating that the database does not currently track comparable products for this SKU. As a result, the percentile ranking is the only comparative metric available, and it suggests a neutral standing within the entire GPU population.

Benchmark Performance

The benchmark array is empty, and the recorded average score is 0. The percentile vs all GPUs is 50, meaning it sits at the median. Since no scores or deltaPct values are present, there are no percentage deltas to report. The hardware specs—1.100 GPixel/s pixel rate and 1.100 GTexel/s texture rate—suggest a balanced but low-throughput part. The 8.640 GB/s bandwidth and 64 MB capacity will cap performance in memory-intensive scenes. The 0 score is a placeholder, but the 50th percentile is a meaningful ranking. In the absence of measured scores, the raw pixel and texture rates serve as the best predictors of real-world behavior. The 4 ROPs limit pixel fill, while the 4 TMUs handle texturing at the same rate. This symmetry indicates a design that is not bottlenecked in one direction but is limited overall by its small memory pool. The 1.100 GTexel/s texture rate is sufficient for simple scenes but will struggle with multi-textured surfaces. The 1.100 GPixel/s pixel rate translates to a fill capacity that is modest by any standard. Because the benchmark scores are all zero, the percentile ranking is derived from the hardware configuration rather than measured performance, making it a relative placement based on the database's internal criteria.

Who Should Consider It

The 64 MB frame buffer and 8.640 GB/s bandwidth make it suitable for lower resolutions and older titles. For 1080p or higher, the capacity is insufficient, and the 1.100 GPixel/s pixel rate will not sustain high fill-rate demands. The 4 ROPs and 4 TMUs are balanced but low in count, limiting complex shader work. It is best for legacy systems or as a secondary display adapter, particularly for machines that still use AGP 8x. The 200 W suggested PSU means it can run in very modest systems without upgrades. The card's DirectX 8.1 support restricts it to games from that era, and its OpenGL 1.4 support is similarly dated. Users running 800x600 or 1024x768 with reduced texture quality will find it adequate. The 50th percentile ranking suggests it outperforms half of the database, but that database includes many older parts. For anyone needing a simple 2D output or a retro gaming rig, the 64 MB capacity is a hard ceiling. The 1.100 GTexel/s texture rate is enough for early 2000s titles but not for modern asset-heavy engines. The single DVI output and dual S-Video outputs cover basic connectivity.

Ray Tracing and Feature Set

No RT cores or tensor cores are listed, so ray tracing and AI acceleration are entirely absent. The API support includes DirectX 8.1 and OpenGL 1.4, with no Vulkan support. This limits the card to titles designed for those APIs, which were standard in the early 2000s. The display outputs are 1x DVI and 2x S-Video, covering analog and early digital connections. The All-In-Wonder branding implies multimedia features, but the data only lists the outputs and APIs. The architecture is Rage 7, a fixed-function design with no programmable shader units beyond what DirectX 8.1 allows. There is no mention of hardware video encoding or decoding in the fact pack. The lack of Vulkan means modern cross-platform titles cannot run. DirectX 8.1 was a common target for games released around the card's launch, so it aligns with that generation. The 2x S-Video outputs suggest TV-out capability, which was a hallmark of All-In-Wonder cards. Without tensor cores, any AI-based upscaling or denoising is out of the question.

Power and Cooling

TDP is not specified in the data set, so no direct power draw figure is available. The suggested PSU is 200 W, which is a conservative recommendation for a card with no auxiliary power connectors. The card draws power solely from the AGP 8x slot, as indicated by the "None" entry for power connectors. It is a single-slot design, which simplifies installation in compact cases. The 150 nm process and 36 million transistors indicate a low-power part, but no wattage figure is provided to confirm. The lack of external power connectors is a strong signal that the card's draw is modest, well within the 200 W PSU guideline. The single-slot cooler is adequate for the heat output expected from this architecture. The 97 mm² die size and 371.1K / mm² transistor density suggest a compact, efficient layout. Without a TDP number, the 200 W suggested PSU is the only power-related figure, and it is a low bar for most systems. The absence of power connectors also means no 6-pin or 8-pin cables are required, making installation straightforward. The 150 nm node is a mature process for its time, contributing to stable thermals under load.
