PC Stats posted a review on the XGI Volari 8300 Reference Videocard



The XGI Volari 8300 GPU is built on UMC's 0.13 micron manufacturing and has a transistor count of 90 million. The core uses a PBGA (Pin Ball Grid Array) packaging. Architecturally, the Volari 8300 GPU is equipped with a 2 x 2 pixel pipeline, which means it has the same number of pixel rendering pipelines as an nVidia Geforce 6200TC / Radeon X300SE, but more Texel pipelines (600 million Pixel Fill rate/1200 million Texel fill rate). The total memory bus bandwidth is 64-bits, and that is broken up into two separate 32-bit memory controllers for a maximum theoretical bandwidth of 5.6GB/s.
