The Riva TNT2 M64 Vanta-16 was a graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on March 22nd, 1999. Built on the 250 nm process, and based on the NV5 graphics processor, in its Vanta-16 variant, the card supports DirectX 6.0. Since Riva TNT2 M64 Vanta-16 does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The NV5 graphics processor is a relatively small chip with a die area of only 63 mm² and 15 million transistors. It features 2 pixel shaders and 0 vertex shaders, 2 texture mapping units, and 2 ROPs. 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 16 MB SDR memory with the Riva TNT2 M64 Vanta-16, which are connected using a 64-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 100 MHz, memory is running at 133 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the NVIDIA Riva TNT2 M64 Vanta-16 does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is not exactly known. Display outputs include: 1x VGA. Riva TNT2 M64 Vanta-16 is connected to the rest of the system using an AGP 4x interface.
