Riva TNT2 Ultra: specs and benchmarks
Contents
Summary
NVIDIA started Riva TNT2 Ultra sales 15 March 1999 at a recommended price of $299. This is a desktop graphics card based on a Fahrenheit architecture and made with 250 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 32 MB of SDR memory clocked at 0.18 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 2.928 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is a single-slot graphics card attached via AGP 4x interface.
