ATI Fire GL3: specs and benchmarks

VS

Summary

ATI started Fire GL3 sales 1 June 2000 at a recommended price of $1,999. 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. 128 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.
