Don't be fooled by the addition of the word 'Turbo' here - this was a marketing ploy which backfired badly on ATI in early 1998. ATI fooled the most popular synthetic benchmarks of the time using some dodgy driver code and stamped 'Turbo' on the chip to make it appear as though they'd invented a much better product.

Its memory ran at 75 MHz offering maximum bandiwdth of 600 MB/sec.

The card was compatible with DirectX 6.0 and OpenGL 1.1.
