The Riva 128 PCI was a graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on April 1st, 1997. Built on the 350 nm process, and based on the NV3 graphics processor, the card supports DirectX 5.0. Since Riva 128 PCI does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The NV3 graphics processor is a relatively small chip with a die area of only 71 mm² and 4 million transistors. It features 1 pixel shader 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). NVIDIA has paired 4 MB SDR memory with the Riva 128 PCI, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 100 MHz, memory is running at 100 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the NVIDIA Riva 128 PCI does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 4 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x VGA, 1x DB13W3. Riva 128 PCI is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI interface.
