ATi Radeon Mobility

This page will show all objects that classify as ATi Radeon Mobility. The Radeon Mobility has been made by ATi, a company that makes graphics cards and has been on the block for quite a while (1985). ATi started with EGA and VGA cards long time ago and continues to develop high-end 3D chipsets till this very day. ATi's first 3D accelerator was known as the 3D Rage which technically was a Mach64 with some 3D functions. This didn't turn out to be real speedy but in combination with 3Dfx accelerators it went really well. After a bunch of Rage cards ATi launched the Radeon, a brand name that ATi still uses for today Radeon HD products.

ATi has been acquired by AMD in 2006 but still sells graphics chips under the ATi-flag.

ATi Radeon Mobility M6-P (AGP)

A Radeon Mobility chip on an AGP board. This way it'll fit into normal desktop PC's and that makes testing/developing a lot easier.

The card runs very cool. A heatsink is not even required. Though performance is not as good as the first Radeon cards but that's not the target of this card. It runs at 166MHz and has 16MB RAM. More RAM would probably be possible but pretty much useless. Cards with this kind of performance can't render more advanced scenes due a lack of rendering power: they can't really utilize the extra RAM.

As seen on the photo's the card has two LED's, some dip-switches and connectors. I have no idea where they are meant for so I'd better not switch them and see what happens. Other connectors on the card are a DVI port, TV-out and DFP. DFP is the predecessor of DVI but never really made it so you won't come across a DFP system easily.

On the back of the card there is a sticker attached which says the following:

That might be a BIOS version

ATi Radeon Mobility M9-P (AGP)

Launched in August of 2002 for the notebook market. This cool running Radeon Mobility M9 is better known as the ATi Mobility Radeon 9000.

This development card has two DVI ports, one DFP port (predecessor of DVI) and one TV-Out port. There are some switches on the PCB but I have no idea what they do. The LED's do not light up when the card is powered up and during the benchmarks the card ran just fine.

On the back is a sticker that says:
