ATI Radeon® 9000 Series Video Cards Features ? Complex, Realistic Lighting Effects Featuring a revolutionary Quad-pipe architecture and up to 128MB of memory, Radeon® 9000 SERIES provides best- of-class performance to accelerate all popular 3D applications. Four parallel, highly optimized rendering pipelines, typically available only for the high-end gaming cards, significantly enhance performance and game-play responsiveness when compared to the standard 2-pipeline architectures found in most mid -range products. ? Charisma Engine™ II Having the powerful next generation Transform and Lighting engine with Charisma Engine™ II is an important element to driving the latest 3D games and applications. Charisma Engine™ II takes the work off your system's CPU and accelerates today's demanding 3D graphics effortlessly. Being a next generation Transform and Lighting engine, Charisma Engine™ II is the most efficient and powerful GPU in its class. ? SmartShader™ A new technology developed by ATI, represents a new generation of visual effects for your personal computer. With SmartShader™ , game developers will be able to create immersive, life-like worlds by modelling the surface and material qualities of 3D objects with an unparalleled level of realism. ? SmoothVision™ Supports a High-Performance anti-aliasing mode and a High-Quality anti-aliasing mode. Both of these modes give users the ability to choose between 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, and 6x sampling, allowing for a total of 10 different anti-aliasing settings. This allows users to quite easily select both the desired level of visual quality and the corresponding performance level. ? FullStream™ The latest advancement in video processing technology, is a hardware accelerated filtering method that improves the performance and visual quality of streaming video playback. ? Video Immersion™ II ATI ’ s Video Immersion™ II technology integrates industry-leading digital video features, including advanced adaptive de-interlacing algorithm, temporal filtering, and video gamma enhancement for unprecedented video quality and integrated digital TV decode capability. In addition, there is component output support for HDTVs (High Definition Television) at 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i. ? Pixel Tapestry™ II Provides ATI's graphics products with an advanced and flexible texturing system. With four parallel, highly-optimized rendering pipelines each capable of handling two textures simultaneously, it delivers outstanding performance and opens up a whole range of new possibilities for making 3D surfaces look more detailed and realistic. ? HyperZ II™ Technology ATI's Radeon chip takes a new approach to the memory bandwidth limitation issue. The innovative HyperZ technology improves memory bandwidth efficiency without the added cost of exotic embedded or proprietary memory technologies. By eliminating this key bottleneck, the final barrier to realistic, real-time 3D is overcome. ?
