3D Rage IIC PCI: specs and benchmarks
Summary
ATI started 3D Rage IIC PCI sales 1 April 1997. This is a desktop graphics card based on a Rage 2 architecture and made with 500 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 2 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.
