The Radeon 9000 PRO was a graphics card by ATI, launched on July 18th, 2002. Built on the 150 nm process, and based on the RV250 graphics processor, in its RV250 9000 PRO variant, the card supports DirectX 8.1. Since Radeon 9000 PRO does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The RV250 graphics processor is a relatively small chip with a die area of only 97 mm² and 36 million transistors. It features 4 pixel shaders and 1 vertex shader 4 texture mapping units, and 4 ROPs. Due to the lack of unified shaders you will not be able to run recent games at all (which require unified shader/DX10+ support). ATI has paired 128 MB DDR memory with the Radeon 9000 PRO, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 275 MHz, memory is running at 275 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the ATI Radeon 9000 PRO does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 28 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 1x VGA, 1x S-Video. Radeon 9000 PRO is connected to the rest of the system using an AGP 4x interface. The card measures 167 mm in length, 111 mm in width, and features a single-slot cooling solution.
