The ATi Rage 128 was meant to compete with the nVidia RIVA TNT, Matrox G200 and G400, and 3dfx Voodoo 3. ATi developed the Rage 128 Pro as successor which had a few enhancements: better triangle setup engine, better texture filtering, DirectX 6.0 texture compression, AGP 4x and DVI support.
Almost identical to the other Rage Fury MAXX except for the slight difference in the PCB. Find the PCB date (52th week of 1999) on both cards and you'll see the difference. > Read more
On this card you'll find two Rage 128 Pro chips. They work together using AFR (alternate frame rendering) that almost doubles performance. With AFR each frame is rendered on an independent processor.
The Rage Fury MAXX doesn't have T&L (Transform and Lightning) so it's job to compete with the GeForce 256 was a tough one. It's no surprise that the GeForce 256 will be the better choice.
Also note that this card isn't suitable for Windows 2000 or newer. It will work but only with one chip. The ideal OS for this card is Windows 98/ME. In order to make the card work with my benchmark system (based on i815 chipset) I had to disable AGP4x support in the BIOS. > Read more
A late Rage 128 Pro sample and actually I have no idea what it's purpose was. The back of the card shows CE/FC markings and normal product numbers which indicate it's a normal production board. Nevertheless, it does have a 'Qualification Sample' sticker.
The card is probably sent out to some tester/reviewer who would like to implement a Rage 128 Pro card in a computer system. ATi sent out a normal board for qualification ... sounds right? Not sure 
.
The sticker on the back says:

The ATi All-in-Wonder 128 Pro, one of the last official ATi Rage boards out there. The Rage 128 Pro was a newer ATi Rage 128 chip and featured a better triangle setup engine, DX6.0 texture compression and AGP4x. The ATi Rage Theather chip was used for TV functions. The card works great but has poor performance. Even the most simple Voodoo3 card is able to crush this card in performance.
The card has a sticker on the back which says the following:
This prototype seems to work fine. However, I haven't tested the TV functions. > Read moreSAMPLE ONLY- NOT FOR QUALIFICATION
