ATI Radeon X700 PRO AGP

The ATI Radeon X700 PRO AGP is an AGP 8x graphics card. Its manufacturer field lists AMD, and it is built around the RV410 chip on the R400 architecture. The generation field is Radeon R400 AGP (X700), and the process data lists TSMC as the foundry with a 110 nm process. The die contains 120 million transistors and measures 156 mm², giving a transistor density of 769.2K / mm². The card is marked end-of-life and has a recorded release date of 2004-08-31T17:00:00.000Z.

Benchmark Performance

The benchmarks array is empty, and the average benchmark score is 0. This zero is an absence of collected workload data, not a measured performance result. No base, boost, or game clock values are listed; the only clock entries are memory clock 472 MHz and 944 Mbps effective. The rendering pipeline is defined by 8 TMUs and 8 ROPs, which produce a pixel rate of 3.400 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 3.400 GTexel/s. Those two rates match because the TMU and ROP counts match. A shading unit count is not provided, and FP32 and FP16 throughput rates are also absent, so the pixel and texture rates are the only computational throughput figures available.

The memory bandwidth is 15.10 GB/s across a 128-bit bus. The percentileVsAllGpus value is 50, placing this card at the median of the tracked GPU population. A median placement means it is not on the high or low extreme of that distribution. The data contains no nearestRivals entries, so no percentage delta can be attached to any direct competitor. In benchmark terms, the card is a mid-pack part whose reportable performance is specification-based rather than score-based.

How It Compares

No nearest rivals are listed for this GPU, so no directly linked rival records exist in the database, and no deltaPct values are available to quote. The only comparative field is percentileVsAllGpus, which is 50. That is a median rank among all GPUs in the database population, but it identifies no specific competitor. The product lineage does provide some position: the predecessor is the Radeon R300, and the successor is the Radeon R500 AGP. These are generation-level relationships, not benchmark deltas.

Because the nearestRivals list is empty, any statement such as "ahead of" or "behind" a named rival cannot be supported by the data. The specification profile of 128 MB DDR memory, a 128-bit bus, and 15.10 GB/s bandwidth is consistent with the moderate 50th percentile rank, but consistency is not the same as a measured comparison. Without named rivals, the only safe comparison is positional: a mid-pack card in the database's overall GPU ranking.

Who Should Consider It

No measured benchmark scores are present, so recommendations must come from the memory, API, and interface data. The card supports DirectX 9.0b (9_2) and OpenGL 2.0, and Vulkan is not listed. That API set points to older software, not current rendering workloads. The memory configuration is 128 MB DDR on a 128-bit bus, with 15.10 GB/s bandwidth. These figures define the resolution ceiling: high resolutions require more memory capacity and more bandwidth, and this card's data suggests it will run out of both. The practical reading is lower resolutions with reduced detail settings.

The AGP 8x bus interface ties the card to AGP-era systems, and the board is single-slot with a floppy power connector, a TDP of 33 W, and a suggested PSU of 200 W. Display outputs are 1x DVI, 1x VGA, and 1x S-Video, which matches older DVI and analog VGA displays as well as S-Video output. The absence of RT cores and tensor cores in the data further reinforces a traditional rasterization-only profile. Anyone assembling a legacy AGP system and looking for DirectX 9.0b-era compatibility is the relevant audience. Users whose priority is high resolution or modern API support will find no evidence in the data to select this card.

Memory Subsystem

The memory subsystem is the clearest capacity limitation in the data. The ATI Radeon X700 PRO AGP uses 128 MB of DDR memory on a 128-bit bus. Its memory clock is 472 MHz, with the DDR signaling rated at 944 Mbps effective. Those entries combine into a bandwidth figure of 15.10 GB/s. For high resolutions, capacity and bandwidth are the two constraints that matter. A 128 MB memory pool can hold a bounded amount of frame data, and the 15.10 GB/s figure is the data-transfer ceiling between memory and the GPU.

Increasing resolution raises the volume of color, depth, and texture data per frame, which directly places more demand on that ceiling. The pixel rate of 3.400 GPixel/s and texture rate of 3.400 GTexel/s show balanced fill-rate resources, but fill rate cannot compensate for memory pressure. The 944 Mbps effective rate is a direct reflection of the DDR memory type, and the 128-bit bus width is the other half of the bandwidth equation. Users who wish to run high resolution should expect the 15.10 GB/s bandwidth and 128 MB capacity to become limiting factors before the 3.400 GPixel/s pixel rate does. In short, the memory subsystem is tuned for lower-resolution, lower-detail workloads.
