ATI R300 / Radeon 9700 Schematic & Board View
ATI's R300 GPU uses the R300 architecture and is made using a 150 nm production process at TSMC. With a die size of 215 mm² and a transistor count of 110 million it is a medium-sized chip. R300 supports DirectX 9.0 (Feature Level 9_0). Modern GPU compute technologies are not available. It features 8 pixel shaders and 4 vertex shaders, 8 texture mapping units and 8 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).
The Radeon 9700 was a graphics card by ATI, launched on August 19th, 2002. Built on the 150 nm process, and based on the R300 graphics processor, in its R300 9700 variant, the card supports DirectX 9.0.
