ATI Fire GL2: specs and benchmarks
Summary
ATI started Fire GL2 sales 1 June 2000 at a recommended price of $1,199. This is a desktop graphics card based on an IBM architecture and made with 250 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 64 MB of DDR memory clocked at 0.24 GHz are supplied, and together with 256 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 7.68 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is single-slot card attached via AGP 4x interface.
