necessary power to accelerate today’s 3D games and applications
SMARTSHADER™ technology which can realistically create the visual
properties of any material, like glass, metal, wood, and produce 3D depth
by rendering the object’s shadows
SMOOTHVISION™ which provides users with various degrees of
jagged edge removal from 3D images, allowing users to configure their
own high quality or high performance gaming experience
PIXEL TAPESTRY™ II which provides even greater 3D rendering
power
Dual monitor support (optional)
TV output support
Digital flat panel support (optional)
Tachyon G9700 / G9500 series
The Tachyon G9700 / G9500 series card provides high performance acceleration
for today's demanding 3D graphic applications. Its main features are:
SMARTSHADER™ 2.0 provides advanced pixel and vertex shaders
capable of processing 16 textures per pass and up to 160 instructions
with 128-bit floating point precision.
SMOOTHVISION™ 2.0 provides2x/4x/6x full scene anti-aliasing with
full anisotropic filtering for the highest level of image quality
HYPER Z™ III technology improves performance and reduces memory
bandwidth use by allowing the Tachyon G9700/G9500 to render only
those parts of an image that can be seen by the viewer.
TRUFORM™ 2.0 allows rendering of higher order surfaces with
discrete and continuous tessellation levels per polygon.
VIDEOSHADER™ provides seamless integration of pixel shaders with
video. FULLSTREAM technology will allow high-quality video
playback of streaming Internet video.
Dual monitor support with HYDRAVISION™ technology.
