The FireStream 9270 was a professional graphics card by AMD, launched on November 13th, 2008. Built on the 55 nm process, and based on the RV770 graphics processor, in its RV770 XT variant, the card supports DirectX 10.1. Since FireStream 9270 does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The RV770 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 256 mm² and 956 million transistors. It features 800 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 16 ROPs. AMD has paired 2,048 MB GDDR5 memory with the FireStream 9270, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 750 MHz, memory is running at 900 MHz (3.6 Gbps effective).
Being a dual-slot card, the AMD FireStream 9270 draws power from 2x 6-pin power connectors, with power draw rated at 160 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x DVI. FireStream 9270 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 2.0 x16 interface. The card's dimensions are 241 mm x 111 mm x 38 mm, and it features a dual-slot cooling solution.
