The Rage XL PCI was a graphics card by ATI, launched on August 1st, 1998. Built on the 350 nm process, and based on the Rage XL graphics processor, in its Rage XL variant, the card supports DirectX 6.0. Since Rage XL PCI does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The Rage XL graphics processor is a relatively small chip with a die area of only 47 mm² and 8 million transistors. It features 1 pixel shader and 0 vertex shaders, 1 texture mapping unit and 1 ROP. Due to the lack of unified shaders you will not be able to run recent games at all (which require unified shader/DX10+ support). ATI has paired 8 MB SDR memory with the Rage XL PCI, which are connected using a 64-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 125 MHz, memory is running at 83 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the ATI Rage XL PCI does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is not exactly known. Display outputs include: 1x VGA, 1x S-Video. Rage XL PCI is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI interface.
