Rage 128 (non-pro) early slow clocked card. Rage 128 GL (non-pro) - workstation card. Xpert 2000 PRO/ Rage 128 PRO with 64 bit bus / 2 memory chips - this card is also found in OEM systems - usually as fast as a TNT/TNT2 M64, but can be slower. Rage 128 PRO (128 bit / 4 memory chips) - this card is usually found in OEM systems and places in between a TNT and a TNT2 They are slow and some lack openGL support. Never install drivers of the original CD.
Rage Fury PRO - single GPU - as fast as a TNT2 with latest drivers. Rage Fury PRO MAXX - this dual-chip solution only works in win98. The 64 bit version rivals the TNT2 mach64, while the 128bit version is comparable to the regular TNT2. These can also be 64 or 128bit (memory bus) but are clocked 25% faster and have much better openGL support. What you want are the Rage Fury PRO cards. The non-pro version is clocked slower and places somewhere around a TNT and a TNT2 (the 128bit model). These are good cards - like I said, TNT2 equivalent. The Rage Fury Pro is sometimes also called the Rage 128 Pro. The Rage 128 PRO is slightly slower then a TNT2. A regular Rage 128 with the full 128 bit bus is about as fast as a TNT(1), while the 64 bit cards are someware between a Voodoo 1 and a Voodoo 2 in performance.
Most cards have tiny PCBs and come with little vram - 8 or 16mb over a 32 or 64 bit bus. The Rage 128 line can come with 32, 64 or 128 bit memory busses witch makes finding a card complicated. The rage II_c is a reworked mach64 if I remember correctly, and while it can do direct 3d and some openGL, it is SLOW. Rage cards usually get a bad rep because they are quite a few versions, most not really fit for gaming. The 128 bit cards have 4 memory chips while the 64 bit ones have only two and are usually restricted to 8 or 16mb. OEM Rage Fury PRO cards with 32MB over a 128bit bus are the ones you want. So textures were only displayed in the lowest resolution (640x480 ?). Only drackback: The on-board chip had little memory. It was kinda cool when I ran it on my little HP Thin Client.
Well, the Rage 128 and IIc can run that awesome ATi Dawning Demo. Jo22 wrote: Well, the Rage 128 and IIc can run that awesome ATi Dawning Demo.
