Of course you can play Quakes with Rage Pro. Just try different driver.

We know Rage Pro was 3 million, therefore older chips ought to have less.

You don't need to match the specs of competition in order to be decent if your price is right.

That is comprehensive, but the first table... Transistor counts are way off. What is the source on die sizes? I can confirm Rage XL, it was 250 nm though.

That would certainly be a huge upgrade, although not CIF compatible. If only the texture filtering bothers you, try Rage XL- the final form of the Rage Pro.

Btw - why all GPU databases show 8 ROPs for GF 7800 GS? I think it makes no sense at all, I would end up much slower than NV40... which it really isn't. And also fillrate tests suggest there are 16 ROPs, just like every other G70/71 card. 3dmark 03 -> fillrate single / fillrate multi GF 6800 Ultra …

Specific how? The CPU used is more than enough to cap them. We need more tests with slow CPUs. 4 or 8 MB won't play a role for a card of such a speed. Packard Bell had 8 MB Voodoo3, no big deal.

Never have I seen Rage Pro with a different core clock. Does that "Pro Turbo PCI" have EDO memory by any chance? I've never heard of Rage Pro referred to as a "Mach64 GT". What is the earliest ATi literature that refers to it as such? No idea what would be the earliest, but the programmers guide …
