Description:

The Radeon 64 MB graphics board features 32-bit color 3-D graphics, advanced 3-D technology, and an integrated T&L engine for graphic realism. Supporting OpenGL and DirectX, this card will increase the graphic quality of all the latest 3D games. The RADEON 64 MB includes Hyper Z technology for increased performance and flicker-free refresh rates up to 200 Hz.

The Radeon 64 MB features some of ATI's 3D enhancements, including the Charisma Engine and Pixel Tapestry technologies. The Charisma Engine provides four-matrix vertex skinning, which skins and blends the animated joints of a 3-D character without any distortion. Pixel Tapestry is simply a name for Radeon's rendering unit, which is able to skin three textures to an object in a single clock cycle, allowing for an extra level of realism with bump mapping, emboss effects, etc. Standard 3-D acceleration features include full-screen anti-aliasing, fog effects, texture lighting, reflections, and Z-buffering.

Play full-screen DVD video from your desktop with ATI's Video Immersion enhancement engine. This allows for adaptive interlacing for best-quality motion video and text with a minimum of CPU usage. This effectively eliminates the need to buy a separate MPEG-2/DVD decoder card to watch your movies. Get support for the latest 3-D games and graphic-intensive products, plus DVD-playback, all on a single board.
