5.1.5 PCI

Chip: 68800 AX, 1/2 RAM

The Mach32 PCI interface version of the chip is 68800 AX, and the 68800-3/6 chip cannot be used directly. The 68800 AX redesign took more than a year. The first to be launched is Graphics Ultra Pro with VRAM memory version.

5.1.5.1 VRAM

5.1.5.1.1 Engineering Sample

PN 109-23000-00C FCCID:

The FCCID certification was passed on October 19, 1993 (9343 weeks). The PCB date of this engineering sample graphics card is 9332 weeks, and the display chip is PROTOTYPE.

I quoted a lot of engineering sample graphics card pictures above, which are just pictures.

This engineering sample graphics card picture is a real picture. It is the earliest engineering sample graphics card known in the collection of computer hardware collectors. It is also the earliest PCI graphics card.

5.1.5.2 DRAM

5.1.5.2.1 Engineering Sample

PN 109-25400-00C FCCID:EXM254A

The PCB date of this engineering sample graphics card is 9334 weeks, and the display chip is the official version. The chip date is 9332 weeks, the date is very early. It shows that the development of these two kinds of Graphics Ultra Pro graphics cards is almost simultaneous.

6. Mach64 series

The further development of graphics technology makes personal computers enter the multimedia era from graphics. In 1994, ATI released the Mach64 chip, which is ATI's fourth-generation graphics chip. It has created many famous firsts. It was the world's first chip to support color conversion from YUV to RGB at that time, and it was a milestone for personal computers to provide video acceleration. It became the first graphics card adapter to be used on PC and Mac computers in the form of Xclaim, and provides full-motion video playback acceleration like S3's Trio.

6.1 Graphics Pro Turbo

Mach64 GX,2/4 MB VRAM

Graphics Pro Turbo graphics card was first released, its PCI and VESA Local Bus Versions ship in April 1994; an ISA Version ship in May.

6.1.1 PCI

PN 109-25500-20 FCC ID:EXM255

Graphics memory daughter card

PN 109-26400-0

There are Graphics Pro Turbo 1600, 4MB VRAM, 220Mhz RAMDAC (IBM 37RGB514), Video Card Maximum resolution: 1600 X 1200 non-interlaced.

6.3 Win Turbo

Mach64 GX2 MB VRAM

Similar to GRAPHICS Pro Turbo, without the memory upgrade board, non-upgradable to 4MB video memory, or only 2MB video memory. There are PCI, VESA, ISA interface versions.

There are also specially designed Win Turbo graphics cards, such as:

PN 109-23600-10 FCC ID:EXM236
