List of MT-32-compatible computer games

ATi Technologies produced graphics cards from the '80s through the mid '00s until merging with AMD in 2006. AMD still produces graphics cards today.

ATi Wonder Series

The ATi Wonder series represents some of the first graphics add on products for IBM PCs and compatibles introduced by ATi Technologies in the mid to late 1980s. These cards were unique at the time as they offered the end user a considerable amount of value by combining support for multiple graphics standards (and monitors) into a single card. The VGA Wonder series added additional value with the inclusion of a bus mouse port, which normally required the installation of a dedicated Microsoft Bus Mouse adapter.

The VGA Wonder series later merged with the ATI Mach series of cards in 1990. The ATi Graphics Ultra (VRAM) and ATi Graphics Vantage (DRAM) cards both featured independent VGA Wonder ASICs in addition to their Mach8 8514 compatible coprocessor chips. The Graphics Ultra was later renamed the VGA Wonder GT. In 1992, their following product line, the Mach32, integrated the VGA wonder core and coprocessor into a single IC. At this point the VGA Wonder line was cancelled and replaced with a cost reduced DRAM based version of Mach32 known as the "ATi Graphics Wonder".

Graphics Solution (CGA)

ATi Mach series

The ATi Mach line was a series of 2D graphics accelerators for personal computers developed by ATI Technologies. It became an extension (and eventual successor) to the ATI Wonder series of cards. The first chip in the series was the ATi Mach8. It was essentially a clone of the IBM 8514/A with a few notable extensions such as Crystal fonts. Being one of the first graphics accelerator chips on the market, the Mach8 did not have an integrated VGA core. In order to use the first Mach8 coprocessor cards, a separate VGA card was required. This made ownership considerably expensive. A temporary solution was presented with the ATi Graphics Ultra/Vantage cards, which combined an ATi 8514 Ultra and VGA Wonder+ into a single card (though using discrete ICs). The Mach32 chip was the follow-up to the Mach8, which finally featured an integrated VGA core, true colour support and a 64-bit datapath to internal memory.

Work in progress

3D Rage

The first generation 3D RAGE chip was based upon a Mach64 2D core with new 3D functionality and MPEG-1 acceleration. Part number on the GPU suggest the name Mach64-GT. Appears to be pin compatible with Mach64-VT4 series chips, but was the first accelerator that was no longer register compatible with the 8514/A. Features:

• 64bit Memory Access
• DirectX 5.0 Support
• 1 Pixel Shader, 1 Texture Map Unit, 1 ROP
• Fixed Pipeline
• Produced 1 Pixel per clock and 1 Texel every other clock

The reason for the Rage name change was:

As the COMDEX 1995 launch approached ATI learned that S3 was planning to release their ViRGE 3D accelerator at the same time. Phil Eisler, the manager of the new chip wasn’t thrilled about launching a product called the ATI 264GT at the same time. So, he started searching for a name with some energy behind it to compete with ViRGE.

3D Rage II

The 3D Rage II chip was an enhanced, pin compatible version of the 3D Rage accelerator offering better 3d performance. Early 3D Rage II chips have part numbers that suggest a continuation of the same family: Mach64-GT2. The Rage II chip supported single-cycle EDO memory & high-speed SGRAM. Later revisions switch to an "R2" naming convention for Rage II chip family. These revisions boosted 2D performance by 20 percent and added support for MPEG-2 (DVD) playback, and AGP support.

Features:

• 64bit Memory Access
• DirectX 5.0 Support
• No Hardware Open GL Support
• 1 Pixel Shader, 1 Texture Map Unit, 1 ROP
• Fixed Pipeline
• Produced 1 Pixel per clock and 1 Texel every other clock

Period Correct CPUs:

• Pentium P54C, MMX
• Pentium II with 66Mhz bus
• K6 & Cyrix 6x86

GPU Competitors at Release:

• Matrox Millenium (G200) or Mystique (G220)
• Nvidia Riva 128
• 3d Labs Permedia 2
• Rendition Verite 2100
• Number 9 Ticket To Ride

Contemporary Review: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/3d-accelerator-card-reviews,42-3.html

A very good 3D paired with a very good 2D performance, the support of 4 and 8 MB onboard RAM, hence the support of up to 1280x1024 3D resolution and last but not least the optional TV output make this card a very good all-round solution, appealing to gamers as well as professionals ... as long as you don't require OpenGL. If you plan on using the XPERT card in a Socket 7 system, you'll be pleased to hear that the 3D performance isn't bad even with slower CPUs, however, the Diamond Stealth and cards with NVidia's Riva 128 are faster. You've got to be careful using an XPERT card as AGP version with a Socket 7 board that uses VIA's Apollo VP3 chipset, because you'll face some serious compatibility as well as performance problems. These problems don't occur if you are using the PCI version with these boards.

Rage IIC was a low end part released along side of the Rage Pro. Rage IIC performed similarly to S3 Trio3D or S3 Virge GX2. Mach64 VT4 appears to be very similar to the Rage IIC, but only seen with EDO memory. They both use BIOS labeled "Rage IIC".

3D Rage Pro

Released in the latter half of 1997, the Rage Pro was a major improvement on ATI's previous Rage II chip. Improvements include an increased texture cache size (now at 4 KB) allowing for improved texture filtering, as well as an integrated triangle setup engine that improved performance on CPU bound systems. It is the first ATI chip (and among the earliest graphics chips) to fully support AGP bus features, including execute mode (AGP texturing). It is also the first ATI chip to support OpenGL in hardware. However, like the previous Rage chips, the Rage Pro cannot bilinear filter alpha textures, resulting in transparent textures still having a rough appearance. Performance-wise, it is very similar to 3Dfx's original Voodoo Graphics chipset. The Rage Pro was very popular with OEMs and up until the late 2000s, it was integrated into many server motherboards.

The Rage Pro is also the last chip to support ATI's CIF application programming interface. It is also ATI's last chip with Windows 3.1x support.

So what's with the ATI Rage Pro chip? I can't help it, but this chip lacks in too many cases to be worth a recommendation. It does not support GLQuake's or Quake II's OpenGL engine, it has obvious problems with Direct3D, it has got only very weak support of professional OpenGL under NT, so that it doesn't leave much else than it's excellent 2D performance in combination with its video in/out features. However, if I want the best 2d performer with the best picture quality and the best RAM DAC I rather go for a Matrox Millennium II. The Rage Pro is neither fish nor meat, it's no gamer's card, but it's also not really a professional card either. So what is it?

Later drivers fixed many of the early compatibility issues. Alpha blended textures was never implemented, which caused poor image quality on some games. Rage Pro works with Quake if you set Windows to 64K color mode first.

Rage LT Pro was based on Rage Pro. It had reduced power consumption, power management features and TV Out.

Rage Mobility added iDCT video compression and further power management improvements.

Contemporary Review: https://www.anandtech.com/show/205/6

From the perspective of the Slot-1 owner who craves speed, and wishes to get the best of all worlds (2D/3D/DVD), the Rage 128 should be considered as the ideal chipset for you. Now once your needs become a little more specific, such as greater 3D performance (Voodoo2 SLI), or greater 2D image quality (G200), then you may be forced to veer away from the Rage 128, but as a starting point, you can't go wrong with this bad boy. Regardless of the speed of your processor, if you're a slot 1 user looking for a well-rounded 2D/3D card, the Rage 128 gets AnandTech's recommendation for the best overall all-in-one, kicking Matrox out of that seat ... Super7 users should be able to find much comfort in the Rage 128, it isn't a horrible performer, and it offers very few compatibility issues with Super7 chipsets, not to mention the incredible feature set the chipset itself boasts.

Rage XL

A die shrink of the Rage Pro that runs with lower power consumption, higher frequencies and has image quality fixes. As of 2021, new cards are being sold with this chipset, however cards manufactured after 1999 frequently have compatibility issues Socket 3 & Socket 4 PCI chipsets.

Rage XC

Released along side the XL, it seems very similar.

Rage 128 Pro

Successor to the original Rage 128 carried several enhancements, including an enhanced triangle setup engine that doubled geometry throughput to eight million triangles/s, better texture filtering, DirectX 6.0 texture compression, AGP 4×, DVI support, and an optional Rage Theater chip for composite and S-Video TV-in. The Rage 128 Pro was generally an even match for the Voodoo 3 2000, RIVA TNT2 and Matrox G400, but was often hindered by its lower clock (often at 125MHz). Several different variants released with different clock speeds.

Sold under the following names: Rage Fury Pro, Rage Fury MAXX

Period Correct CPUs:

• Pentium III 100 Mhz Bus
• Pentium 2
• K6 & Cyrix MX

GPU Competitors at Release:

• Nvidia Riva TNT2
• 3Dfx Voodoo 3
• Matrox G400

Contemporary Review: https://www.anandtech.com/show/389/12

For the occasional gamer the Rage Fury Pro seems ideal but pairing the card up with a fast processor such as a Pentium III 500+ or an Athlon will most likely be doing your processor an injustice if you're concerned with gaming performance. The "slower" processors (< P3-450) is where the card will begin to shine, especially against the more CPU dependent TNT2, especially under Direct3D. The current limitation of performance under Quake 3 seems to be a result of the OpenGL ICD which does seem to have some room for improvement. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Rage 128 Pro beat out the TNT2 in a few Quake 3 runs with a better ICD.

Rage 6

The Rage 6 family was renamed to Radeon before release

ATI Rage add-in boards

Here are tables that list Graphics add-in boards released with Rage GPUs by ATI The last two digits of the part number refer to the revision.

A part number that ends "-00" would either be an engineering sample or a first release. The next revisions of the board would be "-10", "-20", "-30" etc. I included the version number that I saw in my research, but there are likely other revisions that I have not seen.

The tables are grouped & ordered by GPU family, but there was a lot of overlap between generations. For example, the Video Xpression+ (109-40600-10) has copyright 1998 printed on the board, which is 2 years later than the other early Rage cards.

ATi Radeon series

R100

Radeon 7200

Radeon 7000 32MB DDR PCI

Radeon 7500 64MB

The original Radeon was a Direct3D 7 visual processing unit (VPU), as ATi named it. It is a 2 pixel per clock design with 3 texture units on each of the pixel pipelines. The 166 MHz Radeon DDR (aka 7200) is competitive with GeForce 256 DDR. Clock speeds varied from 143 - 200 MHz, synchronous memory and core.

It supports environmental bump mapping (EMBM), unlike GeForce cards at the time. It has a basic form of anisotropic filtering that is high performance and offers a nice quality improvement but is highly angle-dependent and can not operate at the same time as trilinear filtering. It also offers ordered-grid supersampling anti-aliasing.

Backwards compatibility with old D3D 5 games is limited because of the lack of support for fog table and palettized textures. It is possible to enable fog table via registry tweaks but it was not officially supported.

RV100 (Radeon VE / 7000) is a chip with dual display capabilities but with reduced 3D hardware. It lacks T&L and has a single pixel pipeline. It is somewhat faster than TNT2 Ultra and G400 Max.

RV200 (Radeon 7500) is a die shrink of R100 with some improvements. It has more anisotropic filtering options and is capable of asynchronous clocking of memory and the core. The top of the line model is clocked at 290 MHz core and 230 MHz RAM, and competes with GeForce 2 Ti/Pro.

R200

Radeon 8500 128MB

This generation is the first with Direct3D 8 compliance, actually Direct3D 8.1. The Radeon 8500 is a 4 pipeline design with 2 texture units per pipeline and operates at up to 275 MHz, typically with synchronous core and RAM. It is competitive with GeForce 3 Ti 500.

A wide variety of supersampling anti-aliasing modes are available (2-6x, quality/performance). ATi calls it "Smoothvision". It uses various techniques, including a jittered-grid pattern for some modes/cases and ordered-grid for others. In Direct3D, fog may force it to use ordered-grid. Drivers vary in their behavior as well.[1]

Anisotropic filtering is somewhat improved, with more levels supported, but is again very angle dependent and can not work with trilinear filtering. GeForce 3+ have higher quality anisotropic filtering but with a much higher performance impact.

ATi introduced a tessellation function called TruForm.

Backwards compatibility with old D3D 5 games is limited because of the lack of support for fog table and palettized textures.

RV250 and RV280, known as Radeon 9000, 9200 and 9250, are slight evolutions of the design. They have somewhat reduced specifications but are more efficient and run cooler. They were popular notebook GPUs. Performance of Radeon 9000 Pro is not far off of Radeon 8500. Radeon 9100 is a rename of Radeon 8500 LE.

R300

Radeon 9500 Pro 128MB

Radeon 9600 256MB

Radeon 9800 XL 128MB

Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB

Introduced in August 2002, the R300 GPUs are Direct3D 9.0-compliant graphics chips. R300 introduced Shader Model 2.0 support and is also OpenGL 2.0-compliant. The R300 was designed by the ArtX engineering team that ATI had acquired in Feburary 2000. The same ArtX engineers (who were also former SGI employees) designed the Nintendo Gamecube GPU (Flipper) as well as the SGI RealityEngine-based graphics processor in the Nintendo 64. The first R300-based cards released were the Radeon 9500 and 9700 line of cards. In 2003, the Radeon 9600 and 9800 series were added to the lineup. R300 has many improvements and noticeably better visual quality than ATI's prior chips. Radeon 9800 Pro is competitive with GeForce FX 5900 Ultra, but with Direct3D 9 games the GeForce FX falls far behind.

Anisotropic filtering quality is vastly improved in the R300, with much lower angle-dependency and the ability to work simultaneously with trilinear filtering. Furthermore, compared to its initial competitor, NVIDIA's GeForce 4 Ti series, R300's anisotropic filtering incurred much less performance decrease. Anti-aliasing is now performed with 2-6x gamma-corrected rotated-grid multi-sampling anti-aliasing. MSAA operates only on polygon edges, which of course means no anti-aliasing within textures or of transparent textures, but expends far less fillrate and is thus useable at higher resolutions. NVIDIA does not match the quality of this MSAA until GeForce 8. However, ATi did not support any form of super-sampling with R300-R700, while NVIDIA did.

The R300 enjoyed visual quality and performance supremacy over its competitors in games and applications that extensively used Shader Model 2.0. NVIDIA would not be able to match or exceed ATI's Direct3D 9.0 performance until the release of the GeForce 6 series in 2004.

Backwards compatibility with old D3D 5 games is limited because of the lack of support for fog table and palettized textures. Also, despite being Direct3D 9.0-compliant, the R300 is not officially supported under Windows 7. However, for full Direct3D and OpenGL support, it is still possible to use the Windows Vista driver instead under Windows 7, although WDDM 1.1 features will not be present.

R400

Radeon X600 Pro 256MB

Radeon X800 XT PE

Introduced in 2004, this is ATi's Direct3D 9.0b generation. It is very similar to R300 in general, but with 16 pipelines in the top chip instead of 8, and higher clock speeds. They are still shader model 2.0 GPUs but have some extensions beyond 2.0, which gives them a 2.0b designation, but are not 3.0 compliant. This was not an issue until about 2 years after launch when games started to outright require shader model 3.0 or run without some visual features. There are some games that utilize 2.0b features - for example Oblivion has more visual effects available on X800 than 9800.

A new anti-aliasing mode was introduced, called temporal AA. This feature shifts the sampling pattern on a per-frame basis, if the card can maintain >= 60 fps. This works well with human vision and gives a tangible improvement to anti-aliasing quality. Also, while not initially available, adaptive anti-aliasing was added to the R400 series after the release of R500 series. Adaptive AA anti-aliases within transparent textures, giving MSAA more SSAA-like capabilities.

The ATI R400 series are ATI's last GPUs with official Windows 98/98 SE/ME support. Likewise with the R300 series, the R400 series is not officially supported under Windows 7. However, for full Direct3D and OpenGL support, it is still possible to use the Windows Vista driver instead under Windows 7, although WDDM 1.1 features will not be present.

R500

Introduced in 2005, the Radeon X1000 / R500 series are ATI's first Direct3D 9.0c-compliant GPUs with full Shader Model 3.0 features. The R500 series is not officially supported under Windows 7. However, for full Direct3D and OpenGL support, it is still possible to use the Windows Vista driver instead under Windows 7, although WDDM 1.1 features will not be present.

R600

HD 2600Pro and HD 2600XT, AGP versions

HD 3850 AGP

Introduced in 2006, these Radeons added the "HD" prefix to their names. R600 includes both the HD 2xxx and HD 3xxx series, with the AGP version of the HD 3850 arguably being the most powerful AGP graphics card to ever have been made (with only the AGP variants of the HD 4650 and the HD 4670 being of a more recent GPU family).

R700

HD 4670 1GB Club3D AGP

Introduced in 2008, the R700 family included the last graphics cards to be made for AGP slots.

Driver suggestions for games

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2

These OpenGL games are problematic for Radeon cards. DirectX 8 Radeons should use Catalyst 4.2 for KOTOR and Catalyst 5.1 for KOTOR 2. DirectX 9 Radeons in the R300 series can try these as well. With the R4x0 through R6x0 Radeon cards, Catalyst 7.11 may be the best choice.

If the soft shadows option is greyed out and disabled, as it most likely will be, edit swkotor.ini and add "AllowSoftShadows=1" to the [Graphics Options] section.

Video captures

3D Rage II

Note: The Dawning Demo was actually targeted for the ATI Rage128 series that is a considerably newer, thus faster core than the 3D Rage II.
