ATI Radeon X1300

The ATI Radeon X1300 is listed under AMD as a PCIe 1.0 x16 card built around the RV515 chip and the Ultra-Threaded SE architecture. It belongs to the Radeon R500 PCIe (X1300) generation, uses TSMC's 90 nm process with 107 million transistors on a 100 mm² die, and has a release date of 2005-11-30. The entry records no series or codename. The FACT PACK marks it as end-of-life, and the benchmarks array is empty; the average benchmark score is 0, percentileVsAllGpus is 50, and nearestRivals contains no entries.

Who Should Consider It

Because the benchmarks array is empty, recommendation data is limited to the fixed specifications. The X1300 has 256 MB of DDR memory on a 128-bit bus and an 8.000 GB/s memory path. That places a hard ceiling on the amount of texture and geometry data that can be moved per second. Users running software that targets DirectX 9.0c (9_3) and OpenGL 2.1, and that does not need more than this memory capacity, are the audience indicated by the data.

The pixel rate is 1.800 GPixel/s and the texture rate is 1.800 GTexel/s, produced by 4 TMUs and 4 ROPs. This is a balanced but small fillrate setup. At higher resolutions, the per-frame pixel load grows faster than the 1.800 GPixel/s engine can comfortably sustain. For settings, the combination of 256 MB memory and 8.000 GB/s bandwidth suggests texture-heavy high-detail modes are the wrong fit; lower-detail settings that keep resource usage within 256 MB and 8.000 GB/s are more consistent with the available data.

The physical board is single-slot, has no auxiliary power connectors, and lists a 200 W suggested PSU. That makes it mechanically and electrically simple to install. The board uses a PCIe 1.0 x16 interface and provides 1x DVI, 1x VGA, and 1x S-Video outputs. That set of outputs is the complete display connectivity in the FACT PACK; there are no additional display outputs listed. No shading unit count or FP32/FP16 throughput is recorded, so shader compute capacity cannot be used as a selection factor.

How It Compares

The nearestRivals array is empty. There are therefore no rival names, no rival scores, and no deltaPct values in the FACT PACK. This section cannot supply per-rival comparisons because there are no rivals to compare.

The only cross-GPU metric is percentileVsAllGpus, set to 50. In ordinal terms, that is the midpoint of the database's GPU distribution. However, the average benchmark score is 0 and the benchmarks list is empty, so this percentile is not anchored to any measured performance sample. The data therefore provides no evidence of a percentage lead or deficit against any specific product. Its predecessor is Radeon R400 PCIe and its successor is Radeon R600, but those are lineage entries rather than benchmark rivals.

Ray Tracing and Feature Set

The RT core and tensor core fields are empty. No hardware ray tracing acceleration or tensor core-based feature is documented for the X1300. The feature set is otherwise defined by the Ultra-Threaded SE architecture and the RV515 chip. Supported APIs are DirectX 9.0c (9_3) and OpenGL 2.1; Vulkan is not listed.

Within those APIs, the rendering path is fixed-count: 4 TMUs with a 1.800 GTexel/s texture rate and 4 ROPs with a 1.800 GPixel/s pixel rate. Display output is 1x DVI, 1x VGA, and 1x S-Video. The board connects through a PCIe 1.0 x16 bus. No TDP is listed, but the absence of power connectors and the 200 W suggested PSU frame it as a low-power part. The pack also records no FP32 or FP16 throughput, so compute-oriented features such as tensor acceleration cannot be quantified.

FAQ

Q: What chip does the ATI Radeon X1300 use?

A: It uses the RV515 chip, built on TSMC's 90 nm process with 107 million transistors and a 100 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 1.1M per mm². The architecture is Ultra-Threaded SE.

Q: How much memory does it have?

A: 256 MB of DDR memory on a 128-bit bus. The memory clock is 250 MHz, with a 500 Mbps effective data rate and 8.000 GB/s bandwidth.

Q: What APIs does it support?

A: DirectX 9.0c (9_3) and OpenGL 2.1. No Vulkan version is listed.

Q: Does it support ray tracing or tensor cores?

A: No RT core or tensor core counts are present in the FACT PACK. The listed API set consists of DirectX 9.0c and OpenGL 2.1, so hardware ray tracing and tensor-accelerated features are not represented in the data.

Q: What is the board's power requirement?

A: The card is single-slot, uses no auxiliary power connectors, and has a suggested PSU of 200 W.

Q: What is its database standing?

A: It has an average benchmark score of 0, an empty benchmarks array, and a 50th percentile vs all GPUs. No nearest rivals are listed, so there is no score-based comparison data.

Benchmark Performance

The benchmark section of the FACT PACK contains no entries. The only score field is avgBenchmarkScore, which is 0. Because nearestRivals is empty, no deltaPct values exist; exact comparisons like one card being a certain percentage faster or slower cannot be derived from this data. The 50th percentile vs all GPUs is the only relative signal. Taken on its own, it places the X1300 at the median position. But the zero average score and empty benchmark list suggest that no measured performance data underlies that ranking.

In the absence of scores, the nearest thing to performance data is the fixed pipeline throughput. Pixel fill is 1.800 GPixel/s, texture fill is 1.800 GTexel/s, and both are produced by exactly 4 TMUs and 4 ROPs. These equal rates indicate a pixel and texture engine that are matched to each other. For a comparison, any rival would need to be tested under the same workload; no such rival scores are present. The data also does not list FP32 or FP16 throughput, so compute comparisons are impossible. Therefore, the benchmark verdict is one of data absence rather than measured performance.

Memory Subsystem

The memory subsystem is modest by every measured value. It consists of 256 MB of DDR memory on a 128-bit bus, clocked at 250 MHz with a 500 Mbps effective rate. Peak bandwidth is 8.000 GB/s. For high-resolution rendering, this is the relevant capacity and bandwidth envelope.

High-resolution frame buffers require more memory for color, depth, and textures. 256 MB is the hard capacity limit. If a scene's resources exceed that, performance will be dominated by memory spillover, although the FACT PACK provides no measurement of that effect. The 128-bit bus width moves 8.000 GB/s at maximum; this is the data path that feeds the 4 TMUs and 4 ROPs. The pixel rate of 1.800 GPixel/s is the other high-resolution constraint. When resolution increases, the GPU must process more pixels per frame, and the combination of 1.800 GPixel/s with 8.000 GB/s bandwidth sets an upper bound. The memory type is listed as DDR, and no other memory configuration is recorded.
