Rage XL: specs and benchmarks
Contents
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.

Form factor & compatibility
This section provides details about the physical dimensions of Rage XL and its compatibility with other computer components. This information is useful when selecting a computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop graphics cards, it includes details about the interface and bus (for motherboard compatibility) and additional power connectors (for power supply compatibility).
| Interface | PCI | |
| Width | 1-slot | |
| Supplementary power connectors | None |
VRAM capacity and type
Parameters of memory installed on Rage XL: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors have no dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM instead.
| Memory type | SDR | |
| Maximum RAM amount | 8 MB | of 288 GB (Radeon Instinct MI325X) |
| Memory bus width | 64 Bit | of 384 (GeForce GTX 980 Ti) |
