What runs on it today

None of the 46 tracked models runs on it. The smallest, LFM2.5 1.2B, needs 1.7 GB at 8K context — about 484× what this machine can give it.

Every tracked model against this machine's memory at 8K context, through the same fit engine as the finder: measured file + computed context cache + overhead versus usable memory.

One number per browser; it stays on this device and is never linked to you.

Edition Sep 2026 · The fit count is frozen into every issued number: a card from this month keeps saying what ran on the machine this month.

vendor = the maker's own page or press release · review = a contemporary review naming the figure · reported = a secondary source quoting the period. What has no honest source is left off the card.

3dfx sold the chipset; the $299 is the price of the reference boards from Diamond and Orchid as PC Magazine reported it.

Proportions approximate — the maker publishes no dimensions.

What the hologram shows

  • Three chips: one pixel unit, two texture units
  • Memory chips in two rows
  • VGA in and out on the bracket
  • No fan, no heatsink

Drawn from the machine's dimensions and parts list, not from a scan: it says a machine of this era, not this exact board.
