The Fire GL1 was an enthusiast-class professional graphics card by ATI, launched on March 1st, 1999. Built on the 250 nm process, and based on the IBM graphics processor, the card supports DirectX 6.0. Since Fire GL1 does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. It features 2 pixel shaders and 0 vertex shaders, 1 texture mapping unit and 1 ROP. Due to the lack of unified shaders you will not be able to run recent games at all (which require unified shader/DX10+ support). ATI has paired 32 MB SDR memory with the Fire GL1, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 45 MHz, memory is running at 100 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the ATI Fire GL1 does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is not exactly known. Display outputs include: 1x VGA. Fire GL1 is connected to the rest of the system using an AGP 2x interface. Its price at launch was 999 US Dollars.
