Accelerated Graphics Port

Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) is a parallel expansion card standard, designed for attaching a video card to a computer system to assist in the acceleration of 3D computer graphics.

See Radeon X800 series and Accelerated Graphics Port

ATI Technologies

ATI Technologies Inc., commonly called ATI, was a Canadian semiconductor technology corporation based in Markham, Ontario, that specialized in the development of graphics processing units and chipsets.

See Radeon X800 series and ATI Technologies

Bit

The bit is the most basic unit of information in computing and digital communication.

See Radeon X800 series and Bit

Byte

The byte is a unit of digital information that most commonly consists of eight bits.

See Radeon X800 series and Byte

Code name

A code name, codename, call sign, or cryptonym is a code word or name used, sometimes clandestinely, to refer to another name, word, project, or person.

See Radeon X800 series and Code name

DirectX

Microsoft DirectX is a collection of application programming interfaces (APIs) for handling tasks related to multimedia, especially game programming and video, on Microsoft platforms.

See Radeon X800 series and DirectX

Fillrate

In computer graphics, a video card's pixel fillrate refers to the number of pixels that can be rendered on the screen and written to video memory in one second.

See Radeon X800 series and Fillrate

GeForce 6 series

The GeForce 6 series (codename NV40) is the sixth generation of Nvidia's GeForce line of graphics processing units. Radeon X800 series and GeForce 6 series are graphics cards.

See Radeon X800 series and GeForce 6 series

Gigabyte

The gigabyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information.

See Radeon X800 series and Gigabyte

Graphics card

A graphics card (also called a video card, display card, graphics accelerator, graphics adapter, VGA card/VGA, video adapter, display adapter, or colloquially GPU) is a computer expansion card that generates a feed of graphics output to a display device such as a monitor. Radeon X800 series and graphics card are graphics cards.

See Radeon X800 series and Graphics card

Hertz

The hertz (symbol: Hz) is the unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI), equivalent to one event (or cycle) per second.

See Radeon X800 series and Hertz

High-Level Shader Language

The High-Level Shader Language or High-Level Shading Language (HLSL) is a proprietary shading language developed by Microsoft for the Direct3D 9 API to augment the shader assembly language, and went on to become the required shading language for the unified shader model of Direct3D 10 and higher.

See Radeon X800 series and High-Level Shader Language

List of AMD graphics processing units

The following is a list that contains general information about GPUs and video cards made by AMD, including those made by ATI Technologies before 2006, based on official specifications in table-form. Radeon X800 series and list of AMD graphics processing units are graphics cards.

Low-κ dielectric

In semiconductor manufacturing, a low-κ is a material with a small relative dielectric constant (κ, kappa) relative to silicon dioxide.

See Radeon X800 series and Low-κ dielectric

Nanometre

molecular scale. The nanometre (international spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures; SI symbol: nm), or nanometer (American spelling), is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to one billionth (short scale) of a meter (0.000000001 m) and to 1000 picometres.

See Radeon X800 series and Nanometre

OpenGL

OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) is a cross-language, cross-platform application programming interface (API) for rendering 2D and 3D vector graphics.

See Radeon X800 series and OpenGL

PCI Express

PCI Express (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express), officially abbreviated as PCIe or PCI-e, is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard, designed to replace the older PCI, PCI-X and AGP bus standards.

See Radeon X800 series and PCI Express

Radeon R400 series

The R420 GPU, developed by ATI Technologies, was the company's basis for its 3rd-generation DirectX 9.0/OpenGL 2.0-capable graphics cards. Radeon X800 series and Radeon R400 series are ATI Technologies products and graphics cards.

See Radeon X800 series and Radeon R400 series

Radeon X1000 series

The R520 (codenamed Fudo) is a graphics processing unit (GPU) developed by ATI Technologies and produced by TSMC. Radeon X800 series and Radeon X1000 series are ATI Technologies products and graphics cards.

See Radeon X800 series and Radeon X1000 series

Radeon X700 series

The Radeon X700 (RV410) series replaced the X600 in September 2004. Radeon X800 series and Radeon X700 series are ATI Technologies products and graphics cards.

See Radeon X800 series and Radeon X700 series

Render output unit

In computer graphics, the render output unit (ROP) or raster operations pipeline is a hardware component in modern graphics processing units (GPUs) and one of the final steps in the rendering process of modern graphics cards.

See Radeon X800 series and Render output unit

Shader

In computer graphics, a shader is a computer program that calculates the appropriate levels of light, darkness, and color during the rendering of a 3D scene—a process known as shading.

See Radeon X800 series and Shader

Texture mapping unit

In computer graphics, a texture mapping unit (TMU) is a component in modern graphics processing units (GPUs).

See Radeon X800 series and Texture mapping unit
