The FireGL 8800 was a professional graphics card by ATI, launched on August 14th, 2001. Built on the 150 nm process, and based on the R200 graphics processor, in its R200 GL 8800 variant, the card supports DirectX 8.1. Since FireGL 8800 does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The R200 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 120 mm² and 60 million transistors. It features 4 pixel shaders and 2 vertex shaders, 8 texture mapping units, and 4 ROPs. 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 128 MB DDR memory with the FireGL 8800, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 300 MHz, memory is running at 290 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the ATI FireGL 8800 does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is not exactly known. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 1x VGA. FireGL 8800 is connected to the rest of the system using an AGP 4x interface.
