Graphics Ultra: specs and benchmarks
Summary
ATI started Graphics Ultra sales on 1992 at a recommended price of $899 . This is a desktop graphics card based on a Mach architecture and made with 800 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 1 MB of VRAM memory clocked at 0.01 GHz are supplied, and together with 32 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 40 MB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is a single-slot graphics card attached via ISA 16-bit interface.
