Notes

1 - DX6 and earlier GPUs do not process vertices - all of the calculations are performed by the CPU.

2 - The frame buffer bus is 64-bits; each texture unit has its own 64-bit bus to the local memory.  Therefore, there is a total of 3 x 64-bit buses in the memory interface.  The bandwidth of 0.72 GB/s is for frame buffer access, and the 1.44 GB/s is the total for texture access.

3 - Bandwidth figures are for frame & vertex buffer access only; texture access is 2.67 GB/s for each VSA chip.

4 -  The 3dfx Voodoo4 5500 and 6000 use two and four GPUs, respectively, on a single board.  The performance figures are calculated using 3dfx's SLI mode.

5 - The ATI Rage Fury MAXX uses two GPUs on a single board.  The performance figures are calculated using AFR (alternate frame rendering) mode.
