ATI Rage 128 VR PCI: specs and benchmarks

Summary

ATI started Rage 128 VR PCI sales 1 August 1998. This is a desktop graphics card based on a Rage 4 architecture and made with 250 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 32 MB of DDR memory clocked at 250 MBps are supplied, and together with 64 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 2 GB/s.

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