Explanation/Benefit |
|
· 24-bit 3D support
|
Full 24-bit color provides enhanced image quality
|
|
· Packed 24-bit pixels
|
Reduces the amount of memory needed to store images and increases the speed at which images are transferred from memory
|
|
· Per pixel effects
|
Per pixel effects create more realistic shading, fogging and blending of visual images
|
|
· Eight-bit paletted textures
|
Reduces texture storage and improves performance
|
|
· Optimized internal texture cache
|
Improves bilinear filtering, which improves visual textures at close range
|
|
· Faster perspective divide
|
Increases graphics processing speed by 50 percent
|
|
· Color space conversion
|
On-chip YUV to RGB conversion increases visual performance by offloading this task from the system's CPU
|
|
· Video special effects
|
XY scaling, video mirroring and filtering allow applications to efficiently manipulate video windows within a 3D graphics environment
|
|
· Copy mode texture rate of 80M pixels/sec
|
Doubles video playback rate and improves general texturing speeds
|
|
· 230 MHz RAMDAC
|
Improves high-resolution up to 1600 x 1200 pixels and refresh rates up to 83 Hz
