Hjälp: Drivutiner (X1700 SE)

X1600 series

X1600 uses the M56[2] core which is based on RV530 core, a core similar but distinct from RV515.

The RV530 has a 3:1 ratio of pixel shaders to texture units. It possesses 12 pixel shaders while retaining RV515's 4 texture units and 4 ROPs. It also gains one extra vertex shader, bringing the total to 5 units. The chip's single "quad" has 3 pixel shader processors per pipeline, similar to the design of R580's 4 quads. This means that RV530 has the same texturing ability as the X1300 at the same clock speed, but with its 12 pixel shaders it encroaches on X1800's territory in shader computational performance. Unfortunately it is a hypothesis purely as the X1600 lacks raw-power.[1]

The X1600 was positioned to replace Radeon X600 and Radeon X700 as ATI's mid-range GPU. NVIDIA 7600 GT over-shines it through its lifespan. The Mobility Radeon X1600 and X1700 are also based on RV530.
