While often criticised for its drivers and gaming performance, the Rage Pro played an important role in ATI’s history — especially before the arrival of Radeon. 🧠 In this video we cover: 📜 The PC graphics card landscape of 1998–1999 🧩 A brief history of the ATI Rage lineup 🏭 ATI’s heavy focus on the OEM market 🖥️ Benchmarking the Rage Pro in a Pentium III 500MHz system 📊 How it performs in real late-90s games ✅ Final thoughts on the card’s performance in its time and place 🧪 Benchmarks & Games Tested: 📈 3DMark 2000 🚓 Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 🔫 Quake III Arena 💥 Unreal Tournament 🚗 POD 🌀 Unreal Gold 00:00 Intro 02:43 Ati Rage history 05:32 3DMark 2000 06:40 Need for speed hot pursuit 08:22 Quake 3 10:55 Unreal Tournament 13:54 POD 15:28 Unreal Gold 16:52 Conclusions 🔍 The results might surprise you.
