About ATI FireMV 2200 PCI
ATI FireMV 2200 PCI is an end-of-life graphics product from AMD using the RV280 chip. It is based on the Rage 7 architecture and belongs to the FireMV Multi-View generation listed as (2000). The chip is built on a 150 nm process at UMC, integrating 36 million transistors into a 98 mm² die for a transistor density of 367.3K per mm². The card is a single-slot PCI solution with one DMS-59 output, a 15 W TDP, and a suggested 200 W PSU. The data positions it at the 50th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 0 and no nearestRivals entries.
Memory Subsystem
The ATI FireMV 2200 PCI carries 64 MB of DDR memory on a 64-bit bus. Memory operates at 200 MHz with a 400 Mbps effective data rate, producing 3.200 GB/s of bandwidth. That 64 MB capacity is small, and the 3.200 GB/s figure is low relative to the bandwidth demands of modern textured scenes. At high resolutions, a 64 MB framebuffer is a clear limiting factor because the frame, depth data, and any rendered surfaces all have to fit within that pool. The 64-bit bus width also restricts how much data can cross between the memory and chip per clock cycle. For simple 2D desktop layouts and multi-view output, 3.200 GB/s is workable, but for high-resolution 3D rendering, the memory subsystem would become a serious bottleneck.
The rendering subsystem is correspondingly modest. The card has 4 texture mapping units and 4 render output units. Its pixel rate is listed at 960.0 MPixel/s, and its texture rate is also listed at 960.0 MTexel/s. These rates are consistent with a low-throughput raster pipeline rather than a high-end 3D performer. No shading unit count is listed, and no FP32 or FP16 throughput figures are present in the data. The memory subsystem and rendering rates together describe a card built for basic output tasks, not for moving large amounts of high-resolution texture data. The DDR type, 64-bit interface, and 3.200 GB/s bandwidth all point to a product whose memory design matches its multi-view positioning.
Ray Tracing and Feature Set
The data does not list RT core or tensor core counts for this card. The spec sheet simply has no entries for ray tracing hardware or tensor hardware. Consequently, the available feature set is defined by the listed APIs: DirectX 8.1 and OpenGL 1.4. Vulkan is not listed. These API levels come from an earlier graphics generation, so they do not imply support for modern API features. DirectX 8.1 and OpenGL 1.4 are the only graphics API compatibility data provided.
Because the RT core and tensor core fields are empty, there is no factual basis for claiming hardware-accelerated ray tracing or tensor workloads on this product. The 4 texture mapping units and 4 render output units are the only fixed-function counts listed that relate to the rendering pipeline. The absence of Vulkan in the data further narrows the potential software ecosystem. This is not a feature set for modern ray-traced content; it is a legacy feature set aimed at display output and basic 2D acceleration. The card's generation name, FireMV Multi-View (2000), reinforces that interpretation. The available data does not show a high-end API feature set, so users should evaluate the card strictly on its listed specifications.
Benchmark Performance
The average benchmark score for the ATI FireMV 2200 PCI is listed as 0, and the benchmark array is empty. The nearestRivals field is also empty, so there are no named competing GPUs, no score comparisons, and no deltaPct values to analyze. Because of this, exact percentage advantages or disadvantages against specific rival products cannot be calculated from the facts on this page. The only comparative rank available is the percentileVsAllGpus value of 50, which places the card at the midpoint of the GPU score distribution.
A 50th percentile position means the card sits exactly in the middle of the database's ranked products. It is neither in the top half nor the bottom half. However, this rank is not a percentage lead over a particular rival; it is a general positioning statement. With no benchmark scores in the record, practical performance must be inferred from the memory and rendering specifications. The 960.0 MPixel/s pixel rate and 960.0 MTexel/s texture rate are the only throughput figures available. The 64 MB framebuffer and 3.200 GB/s bandwidth further indicate a lightweight workload profile.
The average benchmark score of 0 should not be read as a measured performance result; it is the stored score in the data with no benchmarks behind it. The lack of nearestRivals entries means no head-to-head percentage deltas exist. As a result, the 50th percentile is the only quantitative comparative statement that can be made. Any claim that this card is a certain percentage faster or slower than a named product would require data that is not present in the FACT PACK.
Who Should Consider It
The primary audience for this card is users with multi-display desktop needs. The FireMV Multi-View generation designation and the 1x DMS-59 display output point directly to multi-view output as the intended function. The 64 MB DDR framebuffer and 3.200 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for basic 2D content and multiple desktop surfaces, but they are not suited to high-resolution texture-heavy 3D workloads. Users who need to drive several displays from a small, low-power card might find the single-slot PCI form factor convenient. The card's 170 mm (6.7 inch) length helps with chassis compatibility.
For high-resolution 3D gaming or rendering, the memory subsystem is too constrained. The 64-bit bus and 3.200 GB/s bandwidth would limit texture streaming and framebuffer updates. The 960.0 MPixel/s pixel rate and 960.0 MTexel/s texture rate also cap the card's output capability. This is a product for display-oriented tasks, not for high-performance 3D acceleration. It is also an end-of-life product, so it should be considered within the context of legacy systems and basic multi-monitor setups. The PCI bus interface means the host system must provide a PCI slot; newer bus interfaces are not listed for this card.
Power and Cooling
Power requirements are minimal. The card is rated at a 15 W TDP, and the suggested power supply is 200 W. No auxiliary power connectors are listed, so the card does not depend on external PCIe power cables. The single-slot design and 170 mm (6.7 inch) length keep physical space requirements low. A 15 W TDP is a low thermal load, so cooling should not be demanding. The absence of power connectors also means installation is simpler in systems with limited cable management. The suggested 200 W PSU is a modest system-level recommendation. These specifications are all consistent with a low-power multi-view card rather than a high-end accelerator.

How It Compares
The nearestRivals list for this card is empty. Therefore, there are no named competing GPUs, no comparative scores, and no deltaPct values to report. The only rank provided is the 50th percentile versus all GPUs. This places the ATI FireMV 2200 PCI at the midpoint of the database's performance distribution. Being at the midpoint is meaningful only in the context of the whole database; it does not indicate a specific edge over a specific product. Because no rivals are listed, any head-to-head comparison would require information outside the facts.
The card's own specifications provide a clearer sense of its role. The 64 MB memory buffer, 3.200 GB/s bandwidth, and 960.0 MPixel/s pixel rate are modest figures. The end-of-life production status and FireMV Multi-View (2000) generation further define it as a legacy multi-display board rather than a modern competitor. In summary, this part occupies the median tier of the database with no direct rival entries, so conclusions about relative standing must be limited to the percentile figure and the card's own listed specifications.
