About XGI Volari Duo V8 Ultra
The XGI Volari Duo V8 Ultra is an AGP 8x card with a release date of 2003-09-14, built around the XG40 chip and the XG4 architecture. The process node is 130 nm at UMC, and the transistor count is 110 million. The generation field records “XG40 (Volari V8),” while the manufacturer field is “Unknown.” The memory configuration is 256 MB of DDR on a 256-bit bus, with a memory clock of 375 MHz, an effective data rate of 750 Mbps, and a listed bandwidth of 24.00 GB/s. The card provides 8 texture units and 4 ROPs, with a pixel rate of 1.400 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 2.800 GTexel/s. Display outputs are one DVI, one VGA, and one S-Video, and the production status is end-of-life.
Who Should Consider It
The benchmark data for this card is empty. The benchmarks array contains no entries, and the average benchmark score field is 0. As a result, the database does not provide a measured performance score to tie to particular resolutions or graphics settings. The card’s percentileVsAllGpus value is 50, which places it at the midpoint of all GPUs included in the database. That rank is the only comparative position available, because no individual benchmark results are stored.
Considering the specification block, the card supports DirectX 9.0 and OpenGL 1.5. Software written for those API versions is within the recorded feature set. The throughput values in the record are 1.400 GPixel/s for pixels and 2.800 GTexel/s for textures. The memory interface is a 256-bit bus with 24.00 GB/s of bandwidth and 256 MB of DDR memory. No core clocks are listed, so the data cannot be used to estimate clock-sensitive behavior. A user with an AGP 8x motherboard and a need for DirectX 9.0 or OpenGL 1.5 compatibility is the audience suggested by the listed interface and API fields. Without benchmark scores, the database cannot support a recommendation for a specific resolution or quality level.
Ray Tracing and Feature Set
The rtCores and tensorCores fields are both null in the data. There is therefore no information indicating hardware ray tracing or tensor-core acceleration. The API list is DirectX 9.0 and OpenGL 1.5, with no Vulkan entry. The pixel and texture processing rates are 1.400 GPixel/s and 2.800 GTexel/s, with 8 texture units and 4 ROPs. The shading unit count is not listed, and fp32 and fp16 peak rates are also absent, so the only computing resources that can be quantified from this record are the texture units, ROPs, and their rates. The chip name is XG40 and the architecture is XG4; no further feature-level details are present in the record.
Power and Cooling
No TDP value is recorded. The only power-related recommendation in the data is a suggested power supply of 200 W. The board requires two Molex power connectors. It is listed as single-slot. Physical dimensions are not included in the record, so length, height, and width cannot be reported. The production status is end-of-life, but the database does not provide any cooler specification beyond the single-slot designation. The memory clock of 375 MHz is the only clock value listed in the power-relevant data, since base, boost, and game clocks are all absent.
How It Compares
The nearestRivals array is empty, so no rival names, rival scores, or deltaPct values are present. There are no nearest rivals to compare against, and therefore no paragraphs can be written for individual rival products. The only comparative metric in the record is percentileVsAllGpus, with a value of 50. That places the card in the median position of the database’s all-GPU distribution. Because the benchmarks array is empty and the average benchmark score field is 0, this percentile is not tied to any positive or negative measured score in the record. The comparison set is effectively the whole GPU population, and the card’s position within that set is the midpoint.
Memory Subsystem
Memory capacity is 256 MB, and the memory type is DDR. The bus width is 256 bit. The memory clock is 375 MHz, with an effective rate of 750 Mbps. The aggregate bandwidth is 24.00 GB/s. The memory data also includes the clock and effective rate, which are the only clock values in the entire record. For high-resolution use, the relevant constraints are the 256 MB capacity and the 24.00 GB/s bandwidth, but no benchmark entries test the card at any resolution. The 256-bit bus is the only bus width listed. There is no alternative memory size or type in the data to suggest a second configuration.
