Product Description
MODEL- 100-505150 VENDOR- A T I FEATURES- FireGL V3100 (Visualization Series)- Bulk pack The FireGL Visualization series of workstation graphics accelerators is designed specifically for the new, high-bandwidth PCI Express bus, and is architected to deliver unprecedented speed and image quality for real-time visualization. True cinematic quality rendering of complex geometry is now available for compelling animation, visual effects, mechanical design and leading-edge business communication. * Two Way Acceleration With ATI's Single-Chip PCI Express Solution The bridgeless, single-chip design of the FireGL native PCI Express graphics processor fully engages all of the benefits of this interconnect standard in the safest, most cost effective, and most reliable transition from AGP. Unlike other bridged PCI Express implementations, ATI's FireGL PCI Express products deliver full bandwidth in both upstream and downstream directions, doubling the capabilities of previous products. * Compatibility And Stability ATI's FireGL cards -- whether PCI Express x16 lane or AGP 8X -- are designed to accelerate 3D workstation applications based on OpenGL and Microsoft DirectX 9.0. With full certification on the leading computer aided design (CAD), architecture/engineeringgiconstruction (AEC) and digital content creation (DCC) applications, FireGL is the high performance choice for graphics professionals working in Windows or Linux based systems. * Hardware acceleration of the following: - Anti-aliased points and lines or full scene anti-aliasing (2X, 4X, 6X) - 3D lines and triangles - Stipple points - Two-sided lighting - Up to 8 light sources - Directional and local lighting - OpenGL overlay planes - Occlusion culling - 6 user defined clip planes - OpenGL polymode functions - 32-bit (24+8-bit stencil) Z Buffer - Fast Z and color clears - Full DX9 vertex shader support with up to 6 vertex units * Smartshader Technology - Programmable pixel and vertex shad
