The first time we took a look at the Rage Fury, we detailed its internal chip schematic design, as well as analyzed all of its various performance features. (Click here to go back and read the piece, as we're not going to go over old information in today's review.)
After wrestling with the newly born drivers at that time, we managed to complete a host of benchmark results that showed what a strong performer the multi-texturing Rage 128 chip was.
Thanks to the drivers reaching full maturity for the card's launch, we've been able to more completely test the Rage Fury, and it's put us in a position to better render a verdict on the newcomer. Here are the specifications for the final retail card:
