EU146AV Overview

The HP Radeon X1300 is a PCI‑Express x16 graphics card outfitted with 256 MB of DDR2 memory, aimed at providing a performance boost for legacy HP desktops. Built on ATI’s RV515/RV516 core from the Radeon X1000 generation, it supports DirectX 9.0c, OpenGL 2.1, and Shader Model 3.0, making it suitable for basic 3D rendering, HD video playback, and dual-display setups. Equipped with 4 pixel shaders, 2 vertex shaders, and multiple output options including DVI‑I, VGA, and S‑Video, the card served as a widely used OEM upgrade solution in its time. Though outdated by today’s standards, it remains a functional choice for refurbishing vintage systems or ensuring compatibility with older professional software environments.
