Manufacturer description
The X1300 can accelerate digital imaging tasks, enhance 3D graphics in PC games, output a billion more colors than the competition1, and deliver top performance for high definition video. The X1300 has received ATI's stamp of approval for Microsoft's upcoming Windows Vista¿ operating system3, enabling the machine to summon some serious graphical glitz without affecting system performance.
