About the ATI FireGL 8800 GPU

The ATI FireGL 8800 is an end-of-life workstation graphics card that released in Q3 2001. It is built on the Rage 7 GPU microarchitecture (codename R200) and is manufactured on a 150 nm process.

Memory

The FireGL 8800 has 128 MB of DDR memory, with a 290 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 9.28 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 300 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 8 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 4 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The FireGL 8800 is a compact, low-profile graphics card that fits into 1 PCIe expansion slot. It supports DVI, VGA display connections. ATI recommends a power supply of at least 200 W to handle the GPU's power consumption. Using a smaller power supply may result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
