Accelerator
ATI Radeon 9700 Pro: 128 MiB of DDR SDRAM, 19.8 GB/s peak bandwidth, and no published FP32 peak.
The R300 arrived with a fully programmable shader pipeline and reached DirectX 9 months ahead of NVIDIA. It is the generation ATI spent in front.

a + b + … sum v1 Adds 1 memory-bandwidth figure obtained by theoretical-peak. Nothing in the catalog is left out of it. A total is only as trustworthy as the decision about what belongs in it, so both the terms and the exclusions are named records.
This accelerator’s whole-system memory is its fitted frame buffer; host memory is excluded. Partner cards may differ from this reference configuration.
