6.9 Video-It!& Video Basic
ATI’s 68890 PC TV decoder chip was announced in mid-November 1993. The 68890 chip was first used on the Video-It! card. Video-It! was launched in June 1994. With the help of the onboard Intel i750PD VCP (Video Compression Processor), the chip can capture video at 320x240 @ 15 fps or 160x120 @ 30 fps, and can compress/decompress in real time. "Video Basic" without onboard Intel i750PD chip can only capture video at 320x240 @ 10 fps or 160x120 @ 24 fps.

7. Rage 3D series
In the mid-1990s, the development of graphics technology reached a new peak. Traditional 2D display technology has long been unable to meet the demand, especially in the game field. The embryonic form of 3D has emerged. Many graphics manufacturers have launched the first generation of 3D graphics cards, such as NVIDIA's NV1, Matrox's Mlennium and Mystique, PowerVR's PCX1, S3's Virge3D and so on. ATI also launched the first-generation 3D graphics chip 3D Rage to enter the 3D battlefield.
3D Rage is ATI's fifth-generation graphics chip. The 2D core inherits from Mach64 and adds 3D processing functions. It has a rendering pipeline and a TMU; the process is 0.5 microns, equipped with 2MB DRAM memory, and supports MPGE-1 hardware acceleration , Is ATI's fifth-generation graphics chip. However, although it provides 3D acceleration features such as light source processing, it does not support hardware Z-buffer, so it is not a true 3D chip.
3D RageAnnounced date is 13th of November 1995, Release Date is March 31, 1996. The actual release date may be a bit later, after all, its product advertisement was only launched in August 1996.

PN 109-34000-00 FCC ID:EXM340
In the era of Rage, ATi rarely passes FCC ID certification, and every type of graphics card does not have FCCID, but the information is abundant, and the identification of graphics cards is not difficult.
The graphics card that uses the 3D Rage chip only has 3D Xpression, which is particularly common because it directly uses the PCB board of Video Xpression. As a result, there is no picture of the graphics card in the ATI advertisement, only the words "RAGE 3D" are highlighted.

7.2 Sell chip
Entering the 3D era, ATI is still OEM and selling chips. The 3D Rage display chip is used by PASTEL on the TGS-5700 TV card, which really proves that the 3D performance of 3D Rage is really not surprising. Of course, it also pointed a way to ATI-All In Wonder.

8. Rage II series
3D Rage quickly faded out of the market due to compatibility issues. Six months later, on September 5, 1996, ATI released a new and improved 3D Rage II. 3D Rage II is the first 3D chip in the true sense. 3D RAGE II has corrected the compatibility problem of 3D RAGE. The 2D aspect uses the redesigned MACH 64 GUI engine, and the 2D performance is increased by 20%. 3D Rage II supports bilinear, trilinear filtering, Z-buffer and some Direct3D material blending modes, but the pixel filtering is only slightly better than S3's ViRGE, which can only be regarded as quite satisfactory compared to other products at the time. The video memory is matched with a single-cycle EDO of 2 to 4 MB or a high-speed SGRAM. The 3D RAGE II chip is compatible with 3D RAGE feet. In addition, MPEG-2 (DVD) playback function has been added. This chip also supports Direct3D, OpenGL and other drivers. The driver also supports Windows 95, Windows NT, Mac OS and OS/2 operating systems. ATI also equips RAGE II with ImpacTV TV encoding chip.
Rage II series chips include Rage II, Rage II+DVD, and Rage LT.
