MGA Impression Pro was the same as MGA Impression, but came with two of their chipset chips onboard which theoretically doubled the performance of the MGA Impression.

Stock VRAM memory was increased from 3 MB to 4.5 MB, and like the cheaper card, the Pro supported a DRAM memory expansion for the purpose of a Z-bufer, though it supported twice as much for this purpose, at 4 MB instead of 2 MB.

Its core clock ran at 33 MHz.
