Description:

The S3/Diamond Z200 Viper II 3D Graphics Card offers superior visual quality and 3-D performance without compromise. As the industry's first single-pass QuadTexture engine, the S3/Diamond Z200 is optimized for smooth and detailed 3-D action. Other features include integrated S3 texture compression (S3TC), true hardware-accelerated DVD video playback, and TV output for high-quality, full-screen games or DVD (MPEG-2) movie titles.

With so many games set to use multitexturing, and four picture elements per pixel becoming a standard, Viper II is the first graphics accelerator equipped to composite complex visual effects such as shadows, reflections, and bump and lighting maps in one cycle. Its hardware-integrated S3TC engine is a major leap forward for PC gaming technology as it enables games to use up to six times the number of textures found in today's games without affecting performance.

The S3/Diamond Z200 Viper II 3D Graphics Card comes with a five-year product warranty, technical support six days a week by phone, and a 24-hour Internet tech-support wizard.
