ATI Radeon X300 SE HyperMemory

The ATI Radeon X300 SE HyperMemory is an AMD GPU built around the RV370 chip and the R300 architecture. It belongs to the Radeon R300 (X300) generation, fabricated by TSMC on a 110 nm process with 107 million transistors on a 74 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 1.4M / mm². The database entry lists no individual benchmarks: the benchmarks array is empty, the average benchmark score is 0, and the percentile versus all GPUs is 50. Since the nearestRivals list is also empty, no direct comparisons with other products can be drawn from the available numbers; the following analysis is based entirely on the listed technical data.

Benchmark Performance

Benchmark results for this card are not present in the database. The avgBenchmarkScore field is 0, and the benchmarks array has no entries. The only positional metric is percentileVsAllGpus = 50, which places the card at the midpoint of all GPUs in the database. A 50th percentile is a median placement, but it is not corroborated by any workload score, so it should be read as a database ranking rather than a measured performance claim.

Without score data, the card's throughput limits must be read from its fixed-function and memory specifications. The GPU has 4 texture mapping units and 4 render output units. The pixel fill rate is 1.300 GPixel/s, and the texture fill rate is 1.300 GTexel/s. Both rates are equal, which is expected from a design where the 4 TMUs and 4 ROPs are balanced. The memory subsystem consists of 128 MB of DDR memory on a 64-bit bus, running at 300 MHz with 600 Mbps effective data rate. This yields a memory bandwidth of 4.800 GB/s.

That bandwidth is the main limiting factor. A 64-bit bus with DDR memory at this effective rate provides a narrow data path relative to designs with wider memory buses. No FP32 or FP16 throughput values are listed, so compute capability cannot be quantified. No nearestRivals entries provide scores or deltaPct values, meaning percentage differences against specific competitors cannot be calculated. The 50th percentile is the only comparative number available, but it lacks supporting benchmark data.

Power and Cooling

The listed TDP is 30 W, and the suggested PSU is 200 W. The 200 W figure is best understood as a system-level recommendation rather than a card-only draw, since the TDP is much lower. The slot width is listed as single-slot, and no power connectors are recorded. The absence of power connector data means the physical power delivery setup is unspecified; the entry simply does not state whether any auxiliary connector is needed.

The manufacturing details provide context for the low TDP. The chip is built on TSMC's 110 nm process, and the die size is 74 mm². With 107 million transistors, the transistor density is 1.4M / mm². These figures describe a small, low-transistor-count GPU design. The card is marked end-of-life, which is consistent with a product from this process generation. A 30 W TDP, when combined with single-slot construction, points toward simple cooling requirements, but the fact pack does not specify cooler dimensions or heatsink design.

Who Should Consider It

The data does not contain resolution-specific or settings-specific benchmark results, so any recommendation must be inferred from the listed memory and rendering capabilities. The 128 MB frame buffer and 64-bit memory bus indicate that large textures and high-resolution buffers are not well supported. The 4.800 GB/s memory bandwidth, 1.300 GPixel/s pixel rate, and 1.300 GTexel/s texture rate collectively suggest a card intended for modest workloads. Users running older DirectX 9.0 software are the relevant audience, since the API list includes DirectX 9.0 and OpenGL 2.0. Vulkan is not listed, so Vulkan-only workloads are outside the card's feature set.

The suggested 200 W PSU makes the card easy to place in systems with modest power budgets, and the single-slot design reduces space requirements. The 30 W TDP reinforces that profile. However, because no benchmark scores exist, this page cannot offer a specific resolution or quality setting recommendation. The hardware characteristics point toward lower resolutions and reduced detail, but that is an inference from the memory and fill-rate numbers, not a measured result.

How It Compares

The nearestRivals field is empty. There are no named competing GPUs, no rival scores, and no deltaPct values. Consequently, no per-rival comparison paragraphs can be written from this data. The only positional reference is percentileVsAllGpus = 50, which places the card at the median of all GPUs in the database. Because this percentile is presented without a benchmark score, it does not indicate how close any particular rival is.

The database does list a predecessor and successor for the card: the predecessor is the Radeon R200, and the successor is the Radeon R400 AGP. These entries define its place in the product lineage, but no benchmark scores or percentage deltas are attached to either, so no numerical comparison between generations is possible. The card's architecture is R300, its chip is RV370, and its generation is Radeon R300 (X300); these identifiers separate it from other entries, but they do not substitute for benchmark data.

Ray Tracing and Feature Set

Ray tracing hardware is not listed for this card. The rtCores field is null, and the tensorCores field is null. In terms of API support, the entry lists DirectX 9.0 and OpenGL 2.0; Vulkan is null. This places the card in a graphics era before hardware ray tracing and tensor-accelerated features were part of the product data.

The rendering feature set is defined by the number of texture mapping units and render output units: 4 TMUs and 4 ROPs. The pixel rate is 1.300 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 1.300 GTexel/s. Memory is 128 MB of DDR on a 64-bit bus with 4.800 GB/s bandwidth. The display outputs are 1x DVI, 1x VGA, and 1x S-Video, providing analog and digital connectivity from the release period.

The feature set is therefore minimal by later standards. The card supports DirectX 9.0 and OpenGL 2.0 only, with no Vulkan support listed. No RT cores and no tensor cores are defined. This means hardware-accelerated ray tracing and tensor workloads are outside the scope of the entry.
