Sporting enhanced features as well as enhanced speed, the Rage128GL will be the foundational part in several new ATi video products throughout 1999, and possibly beyond. The initial ATi product that the new chip will be equipped on is the Rage Fury 32MB AGP video accelerator. The Rage Fury is ATi's new high-end solution for those who want the best of all worlds: 2D/3D speed, hardware DVD support, 32MB of SDRAM, and TV-Out.
The way the Rage Fury provides all of this technological bliss isn't a mystery, and is listed in the card's specs below:
