The VGA Wonder was a graphics card by ATI, launched on February 5th, 1990. Built on the 800 nm process, and based on the 18800-1 graphics processor, the card does not support DirectX. Since VGA Wonder does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The 18800-1 graphics processor is a relatively small chip with a die area of only 90 mm². It features 1 pixel shader and 0 vertex shaders, 0 texture mapping units, 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 256 KB DRAM memory with the VGA Wonder, which are connected using a 32-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 10 MHz, memory is running at 10 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, its power draw is not exactly known. Display outputs include: 1x VGA. VGA Wonder is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI interface.
