ATI Radeon X1650 GT

The ATI Radeon X1650 GT is an end-of-life AMD graphics card built around the RV560 chip and classified under the Radeon R500 PCIe generation. It uses the Ultra-Threaded SE architecture and is manufactured on TSMC's 80 nm process. The die is 230 mm² and contains 312 million transistors, yielding a transistor density of 1.4M / mm². The card was released on 2007-04-30 and sits between the Radeon R400 PCIe and the Radeon R600 in the product line. It connects through a PCIe 1.0 x16 interface, is listed as single-slot, and comes with 128 MB of GDDR3 memory. The display outputs are 1x DVI, 1x VGA, and 1x S-Video.

Power and Cooling — TDP, PSU recommendation, connector requirements

The power and cooling section of the fact pack contains no TDP value. The only power recommendation is a suggested PSU of 200 W. No auxiliary power connectors are listed, so the card's installation does not require a separate power line; the record simply says "None" for power connectors. The card's slot width is single-slot, and its bus interface is PCIe 1.0 x16. Because no TDP is recorded, the data cannot provide a card-level wattage figure. The physical context is available through other entries: the chip is the RV560, built by TSMC on an 80 nm process, with 312 million transistors on a 230 mm² die. The transistor density is 1.4M / mm². These numbers frame the silicon characteristics, but the absence of a TDP means the thermal design limit is left unquantified. The 200 W PSU recommendation is the system-level power target in the record, not a measured card draw. The power connector field being "None" is itself a requirement: the card needs no auxiliary connector, and the single-slot design occupies one expansion slot.

Ray Tracing and Feature Set

The feature set is defined by the API and core counts listed in the fact pack. DirectX is listed as 9.0c (9_3), and OpenGL is listed as 2.1. Vulkan is not present in the API fields. The core counts include 8 TMUs and 8 ROPs; no RT core or tensor core counts are listed. The architecture is named Ultra-Threaded SE. Pixel fill rate is 3.200 GPixel/s, and texture fill rate is 3.200 GTexel/s. The absence of RT core and tensor core data, together with the lack of a Vulkan entry, means the record does not support any claim of hardware ray tracing or tensor acceleration. The DirectX feature level, 9_3, is the highest feature level cited. Display output is handled by 1x DVI, 1x VGA, and 1x S-Video. These outputs and the API list form the complete feature picture; no other feature-related fields are filled in the pack. The rendering pipeline is therefore characterized by its fixed-function counts and fill rates rather than by shader or acceleration core counts.

How It Compares

The comparison data in the fact pack is sparse. The nearestRivals array is empty, so there are no named rival products, no rival scores, and no deltaPct values to cite. The card is recorded at the 50th percentile among all GPUs in the database. The average benchmark score is 0. That combination means the X1650 GT sits at the median of the database's GPU distribution while having no averaged benchmark sample to support a numeric score above zero. In product lineage, the card is part of the Radeon R500 PCIe generation; its predecessor is the Radeon R400 PCIe, and its successor is the Radeon R600. The manufacturer is AMD, and the card name is ATI Radeon X1650 GT. Without nearestRivals, the comparison cannot be made on a per-card basis. The only positional statement that can be made from the data is the 50th percentile across all GPUs. Because there are no rival entries, exact percentage deltas such as those normally found in a nearestRivals comparison do not exist for this record. The empty rival list also means the card cannot be placed ahead of or behind a specific competitor using the benchmark database's own comparative metrics. The 50th percentile, however, does provide a rough mid-field reference.

FAQ

Q: What power supply is recommended for the ATI Radeon X1650 GT?

A: The suggested PSU is 200 W. The card has no auxiliary power connectors.

Q: How much memory is available, and how is it configured?

A: The card has 128 MB of GDDR3 memory on a 128-bit bus. The memory clock is 400 MHz, with 800 Mbps effective data rate, giving 12.80 GB/s bandwidth.

Q: Does the card support Vulkan?

A: No. Vulkan is not listed in the API fields; the supported APIs are DirectX 9.0c (9_3) and OpenGL 2.1.

Q: Does the fact pack list ray tracing or tensor cores?

A: No. RT core and tensor core fields are absent, so the record contains no hardware ray tracing or tensor acceleration counts.

Q: What display outputs are included?

A: The display outputs are 1x DVI, 1x VGA, and 1x S-Video.

Q: What are the fixed-function unit counts and fill rates?

A: There are 8 TMUs and 8 ROPs. The texture rate is 3.200 GTexel/s, and the pixel rate is 3.200 GPixel/s.

Benchmark Performance

Benchmark entries for this card are absent; the average benchmark score is 0, and the percentile vs all GPUs is 50. With no benchmark scores populated, there is no sampled performance value other than zero. The nearestRivals field is empty, which eliminates the possibility of computing exact percentage deltas between the X1650 GT and a named rival. The 50th percentile is the only comparative metric in the record. It places the card at the middle of the database's GPU population, but a zero average score does not, by itself, corroborate a specific workload performance level. The fill-rate figures, 3.200 GPixel/s and 3.200 GTexel/s, are the closest performance-related values in the pack. Those rates come from the 8 ROPs and 8 TMUs respectively. Memory bandwidth is 12.80 GB/s, and the effective memory rate is 800 Mbps. All of these are specification-derived numbers rather than application benchmark outputs. Because no rivals are listed, there is no percentage lead or deficit to report. The phrase "exact % deltas" can only be applied if the nearestRivals array contained deltaPct values; in this record, it does not. Thus, the benchmark performance section is limited to a median database percentile, a zero average score, and the listed fill-rate and memory figures.

Memory Subsystem

Memory capacity is 128 MB, and the type is GDDR3. The bus width is 128 bit. The memory clock is 400 MHz, with the data rate listed as 800 Mbps effective. These three values together produce a bandwidth of 12.80 GB/s. For high-resolution workloads, the 128 MB capacity is the first constraint: a larger frame buffer reduces the need to reuse or compress data, and 128 MB is the only capacity listed. The 12.80 GB/s bandwidth is the next constraint: it limits how much texture, depth, and color data can be moved per second. The 128-bit bus width is the path over which that bandwidth is delivered. The memory subsystem is also tied to the fill rates: with 8 ROPs, the pixel rate is 3.200 GPixel/s, and with 8 TMUs, the texture rate is 3.200 GTexel/s. These rates are balanced with the 12.80 GB/s bandwidth in the record. At high resolutions, a larger memory capacity would be needed to keep more of the scene resident on the card, and a wider bus or faster memory would be needed to increase the 12.80 GB/s ceiling. The effective memory rate of 800 Mbps and the 400 MHz clock define the signaling side of the subsystem, while the 128-bit bus and 128 MB capacity define its physical side.
