Rage XL: specs and benchmarks

Summary

ATI started Rage XL sales 1 August 1998. This is a Rage 3 architecture desktop card based on 350 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 8 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.
