The GeForce 256 is the original release in Nvidia's "GeForce" product line.Announced on August 31, 1999 and released on October 11, 1999, the GeForce 256 improves on its predecessor by increasing the number of fixed pixel pipelines, offloading host geometry calculations to a hardware transform and lighting (T&L) engine, and adding hardware motion compensation for MPEG-2 video.
Introduced in 2000, it is the successor to the GeForce 256. The GeForce 2 family comprised a number of models. The GeForce 2 GTS, GeForce 2 Ultra, GeForce 2 Pro, and GeForce 2 Ti are based upon the original architecture (NV15), varying only by chip and memory clock speeds. For the low-end segment and OEMs, the GeForce 2 MX series (NV11) was ...

On August 27, 2008, the GeForce 9400 GT was officially launched. 65 nm G96 GPU; 16 stream processors [2] [3] 550 MHz core, with a 1350 MHz unified shader clock; 4.4 Gtexels/s fillrate; 256/512/1024 MB 800 MHz DDR2 or 256 MB 1600 MHz GDDR3, [4] both with a 128-bit memory bus; 12.8 GB/s memory bandwidth for boards configured with DDR2 800 MHz memory
The GeForce GTX 280 and GTX 260 are based on the same processor core. During the manufacturing process, GTX chips were binned and separated through defect testing of the core's logic functionality. Those that fail to meet the GTX 280 hardware specification are re-tested and binned as GTX 260 (which is specified with fewer stream processors ...
Later, Nvidia released the GeForce2 MX (NV11), which offered performance similar to the GeForce 256 but at a fraction of the cost. The MX was a compelling value in the low/mid-range market segments and was popular with OEM PC manufacturers and users alike. The GeForce 2 Ultra was the high-end model in this series.
As a result of a patent infringement settlement, SGI acquired rights to some of the Nvidia Quadro GPUs and released VPro-branded products (the V3, VR3, V7 and VR7) based on these (the GeForce 256, Quadro, Quadro 2 MXR, and Quadro 2 Pro, respectively). These cards share nothing with the original Odyssey line and could not be used in SGI MIPS ...
The Rage Fury MAXX board held dual Rage 128 Pro chips in an alternate frame rendering (AFR) configuration to allow a near-double increase in performance. As the name says, AFR renders each frame on an independent graphics processor. This board was meant to compete with the NVIDIA GeForce 256 and later the 3dfx Voodoo 5.
