The Diamond FireGL1 is a workstation card using the IBM 256 bit graphics rasterizer and 32 MB SGRAM at 100 MHz. It has OpenGL drivers for Windows NT4. Shown here are common OGL game benchmarks. The system is a Pentium III 800 MHz with Coppermine core on a Gigabyte GA-6BXU mainboard (i440BX chipset), 256 MB SDRAM.
The card does 32 bit RGBA mode only. So while UTs setting is 640x480x16 the actual mode is 32 bit. You can see this also at the perfectly resolved alpha blended effects. Benchmarks are done at 640x480 due to the overall performance level of the card.
