3D Rage: specs and benchmarks

Summary

ATI started 3D Rage sales 1 April 1996. 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. 2 MB of EDO memory clocked at 0.06 GHz are supplied, and together with 64 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 456.0 MB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is single-slot card attached via PCI interface.

Texture fill rate	0.04	of 969.9 (H100 SXM5 96 GB)

Size and compatibility

This section provides details about the physical dimensions of 3D Rage and its compatibility with other computer components. This information is useful when selecting a computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop graphics cards, it includes details about the interface and bus (for motherboard compatibility) and additional power connectors (for power supply compatibility).

Interface	PCI
Width	1-slot

Memory

Parameters of memory installed on 3D Rage: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors have no dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM instead.

Memory type	EDO
Maximum RAM amount	2 MB	of 192 (Radeon Instinct MI300X)
Memory bus width	64 Bit	of 8192 (Radeon Instinct MI250X)
Memory clock speed	57 MHz	of 23000 (GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER)
Memory bandwidth	456.0 MB/s	of 3276 (Aldebaran)

Video outputs and ports

Types and number of video connectors present on 3D Rage. As a rule, this section is relevant only for desktop reference graphics cards, since for notebook ones the availability of certain video outputs depends on the laptop model, while non-reference desktop models can (though not necessarily will) bear a different set of video ports.

Display Connectors

1x VGA

API support

APIs supported by 3D Rage, sometimes including their particular versions.

DirectX	5.0
OpenGL	N/A	of 4.6 (GeForce RTX 4090)
OpenCL	N/A
Vulkan	N/A

Benchmark performance

Synthetic benchmark performance of 3D Rage. The combined score is measured on a 0-100 point scale.
