Windows 95 and Mac OS were not supported.
And Rage II ain't some speedster. It took many years but final drivers are definitely good. Similarly to Laguna3D all members of Rage II family suffers from perspective problems, some surfaces are just wavy instead of straight.
With clocks almost identical to my vanilla Rage II it should demonstrate how additional memory helps. So I have nothing much to rae about, gallery is at your disposal anyway.

Current technologies and software. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. ATi also kept on missing opportunity to implemented vertex specular highlights under Direct3d, despite having the feature in their proprietary CIF.
Despite the poor introduction, the name Rage Pro Turbo stuck, and eventually ATI was able to release updated versions of the driver which granted a visible performance increase in games, however this was still not enough to garner much interest from PC enthusiasts. The texture mapping is just slow, unable to show better rates than three clocks ragge sample, even at the simplest of scenarios. With memory bandwidth and sufficient capacity to allocate, true color rendering is a possibility.
Rage II in person I bought this board with four memory chips in hope it is 4 MB, but it seems only way to get first Rage II with such capacity is through cards with memory expansion module.
Autumn came and before anyone could yet realize first Rage will have 2 Direct3D compatibility, ATI unveiled second chip of the line. The processor was known for its well-performing bit color mode, but also its poorly dithered bit mode; strangely, the RAGE was not much faster in bit color despite the lower bandwidth requirements. As for driver bugs, I found only one serious, objects are disappearing in Battlezone.
This, in addition to its early lack of OpenGL support, hurt sales for what was touted to be a solid gaming solution. This late chip was very similar to the Rage II and supported the same application coding.

All 3d primitives from points to quadrilaterals are supported. This will limit number of tests but never mind, better to have casual card than 2cc used exception. Yet the driver is not preferring format, there is no speed improvement anyway. Driver selected VT3 string, interesting Archived copy as title Pages using deprecated image syntax Commons category link is locally defined.
In reality, early versions of the new driver only delivered increased performance in benchmarks such as Ziff-Davis ' 3D Winbench 98 and Final Reality. It is the successor to the Mach series of 2D rgae. It scored with imperfect, but well chosen feature set including all important blending modes. But for the time Rage II line gained big market share among 3d accelerators.

They were ATI's first graphics solutions to carry the Mobility moniker. It seems despite die shrink ATI did not made any architectural advancements, at least not in 3d. Views Read Edit View history. More promising feature could be texture compression technique with two to four times compression ratio, but by this ATi pco less exciting palletized textures.

Initial versions relied on standard graphics memory configurations: I did some feature tests on VT4 in Tomb Raider 2. As a low-power solution with capable 2D-acceleration, the chip was used on many low-end graphics cards.
For 3D Charger 4 MB of memory became standard and the card has good compatibility, avoiding problems until new generations of games in However some bugs and pfi hold image quality back.
It fixed the Battlezone issues at least.
