	RIVA 128 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		RIVA 128 was one of the early AGP 2X parts, giving it some more marketing headroom by being on the forefront of interface technology.
		RIVA 128 was scorned for its poor texture filtering and strange rendering bugs.
		RIVA 128 was never able to accelerate the hugely popular Unreal engine in Direct3D mode due to missing hardware features.

		THE RIVA 128ZX is the second in the family of highly integrated products targeting the performance segment of the PC graphics market.
		The RIVA 128ZX 3D processor features an 8MB frame buffer (8 or 16Mbit SGRAM) and AGP 2X to support the storage of high-quality 3D textures and a 250MHz RAMDAC, to drive the most extreme resolutions, color depths and ergonomic refresh rates, up to 1600x1200x32bpp @ 85Hz.
		Both the RIVA 128ZX and the ZX software are sampling now and will be in production in the second quarter of 1998.

	RIVA 128
		Released in late 1997, the RIVA 128 was one of the first generation of consumer 3D chips.
		At the time, it was viewed as being lower-quality than the industry-leading 3dfx Voodoo chipset, but had the advantage of being a combined 2D/3D graphics chip which did not require a separate 2D card to which to output.
		The RIVA 128 supported 4MiB of RAM on a 128-bit bus, and like all consumer cards of its generation, had a single pixel pipeline and was limited to a 16-bit (Highcolour) pixel format and a 16-bit Z-buffer in 3D mode.

		The Riva 128/128ZX was the first video card we made.
		Following the Riva 128, we decided to move to a unified driver architecture so that we could continue to provide driver updates through a single unified driver.
		Unfortunately, because this came after the release of the Riva 128, we were not able to include this into our unified driver architecture.

	Review: Jaton Video-78AGP graphics card
		The 128ZX is the evolved version of the older 128, the chief difference being 8Mb of video memory, for support of higher resolutions and a big 3D texture memory boost.
		In 640 by 480 resolution - the same as the maximum Z-buffered resolution of the Voodoo Graphics - it outperforms the Voodoo board by a tiny margin on Pentium class computers and up to 25%, depending on the phase of the moon and the power of the processor, on Pentium-II class machines.
		Like many AGP cards, the 128ZX doesn't actually use the fancy AGP texturing feature which allows system memory, as opposed to video card memory, to be used for texture storage.

		Having both RIVA 128 and i740 cards from the same manufacturer gave me a unique opportunity to compare these two chipsets, and answer some questions many users have about the ups and downs of each, as well as give an objective comparison of each.
		These benchmarks show that in Direct 3D, the RIVA 128 is still king as far as performance is concerned, though not by a very large margin.
		Although a little slower than the RIVA 128, the image quality is noticeably better, especially in Incoming, which uses Tri-linear filtering.

		During the development of the NV3, or RIVA 128, NVIDIA was able to bring back some of the employees who had been laid off earlier as well as new talent such as David Kirk, who had been the Chief Scientist at Crystal Dynamics.
		The RIVA 128 did come out on schedule, and though the RIVA 128 lacked the same 3D image quality features as the 3dfx Voodoo Graphics chip, the low cost and high performance 2D/3D acceleration made it a popular choice for OEMs.
		In late February of 1998, the RIVA 128ZX was the upgraded version of the original RIVA 128.

	AnandTech: Canopus SPECTRA 2500 Riva TNT
		In order to understand what the Riva TNT is all about you must first understand what inspired the creation of the chipset, in essence, what the Riva 128 lacked.
		After the initial release of the Riva 128 chipset it seemed as if the chipset itself was reason enough to leave nVidia out of the competition when it came to overall quality.
		According to the first press releases directly from nVidia, the Riva TNT chipset was supposed to be manufactured using a 0.25 micron process, clocked at 125MHz, and was supposed to be powerful enough to be a Voodoo2-killer because of its 250 Million Pixels per Second fill rate.

	RIVA 128ZX Wrapper Performance @ GU (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Mario made 15.5 fps in the Mario demo spot, but only 7 fps in WaveRace, bringing up the point that the individual game may affect performance depending on how optimised the calls it uses are in the wrapper.
		GL2IDE, with the OpenGL ICD of the RIVA 128ZX, performed very well.
		With 12 fps in Mario, and 6.5 in WaveRace, it can be said to be on par with the other wrappers, perhaps even faster with a card more heavily optimized for OpenGL than D3D.

		10-06-2001, 04:27 PM The clock speed of the Riva and the AGP bus speed are unrelated.

	Riva
		The current Riva cards have 4 MB frame-buffer memory and no on-board texture memory.
		This is why the AGP configurations are much preferred for this card-much depends on the bus data rates, and the 66-100 MHz 64-bit AGP bus is 2-4 times faster than the 33 MHz 32-bit PCI-bus.
		The new processor offers extended resolutions and color depths and AGP 2X support, while providing the same superior power for business applications and truly fast 3-D acceleration for gaming and entertainment found in the original Velocity 128.
