Radeon X1300 256MB Review
Radeon X1300 256MB is an entry-level GPU based on the 90nm variant of the R500 architecture.
It's based on the RV515 Core and offers 4 Pixel Shaders, 4 TMUs and 4 ROPs, on a 128-bit of standard DDR. The central unit runs at 450MHz and the memory clock operates at up to 250MHz.
Radeon X1300 is not much more powerful than R300 and R400 based Radeon X1050 GPUs and so its performance is relatively limited - even for DirectX 9 based games. As it's not based on a Shader-Unified architecture, both DirectX 10 & 11 games aren't supported.

this card somehow got better fps on all my games but my rig then only had 1 gb of ram so it could run much) but it still outperformed my current rig. I think the core speed is higher than my current gpu's. or if there is another reason please explain.
example: I got around 300 fps on minecraft with that card but on my card I only get around 60.
EDIT: it was the low profile model

Dear community,
Will this particular model be compatible with my motherboard and can I use two of these at the same time, I think it's called dual channeling....?

If your motherboard has a PCI-E x16 slot, then you have no problem putting this card in. I don't think you can get two of them to work together though. You wouldn't want to anyway, it's a very old card and if you want something for gaming or even just light editing, you should buy a newer card. There are lots of cards on the marker that will provide multiple times better performance than this GPU and are low-priced too.
