4.2.4 Riva TNT SDK

nVIDIA and STB graphics cards are optional for this component. I have an empty box to select Diamond. It is estimated that more Diamond graphics cards are used.
nVIDIA also presents engineering sample graphics cards in gift boxes to important customers.

5. NV5 & NV6
Release Date：Mar 15th, 1999
The nVIDIA TNT2 was the first chipset to offer a 32-bit frame buffer for better quality visuals at higher resolutions, 32-bit color for more realistic colors, and a 32-bit Z/stencil buffer for incredible 3D effects—blazing

The TNT2 family is the first product line to offer "top-to-bottom" chips to satisfy the needs of every computer and user in the spectrum from basic to high-performance desktop PC computing.

The core code of Riva TNT2 is NV5, which is the cornerstone of nVIDIA's graphics dynasty so far. Thanks to the 0.25 micron process, the frequency of the nVIDIA Riva TNT2 Standard Edition has been increased to 125MHz. The frequency increase and the optimization of the core internals, the performance of nVIDIA Riva TNT2 With a big leap, the performance was unmatched at the time. In the later period, nVIDIA Riva TNT2 also uses NV6 with a 0.22 micron process, and the frequency is further improved.

Beginning with nVIDIA Riva TNT2, nVIDIA has marketed its products. At the high, middle and low end, nVIDIA Riva TNT2 chip derives TNT2 Ultra, TNT2 Pro, TNT2 M64, TNT2 Vanta, TNT2 Vanta LT, etc. Different models of products, with different capacities of video memory, the product line covers most of the market.

Later, with the progress of the process, NV6 also used 0.22 micron process, Release Date Oct 12th, 1999, and was named TNT2 PRO, which was also used in some TNT2 Ultra. After using the 0.22 micron process, the power consumption and heat generation of TNT2 PRO have been significantly reduced, the overclocking capability is stronger, and the cost performance is further improved. In addition to the high- and mid-end TNT2 standard version, nVIDIA also uses the 0.22 micron process NV6 chip to launch TNT2 Vanta and TNT2 M64 for low-end users.

The combination of reliability, compatibility, performance, and quality—at a low cost—has made nVIDIA Vanta the product of choice for leading OEMs and system integrators. The nVIDIA Vanta comes in 4-16MB configurations.
