3D Rage II: specs and benchmarks
Summary
ATI started 3D Rage II sales 5 September 1996 at a recommended price of $269 . This is a desktop graphics card based on a Mach architecture and made with 500 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 4 MB of SDR memory clocked at 0.08 GHz are supplied, and together with 64 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 664.0 MB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is a single-slot graphics card attached via PCI interface.
