News GIGA-BYTE MAYA II GV-R9700 PRO GFX Info :: AusPCWorld

AusPCWorld is pleased to announce some Exclusive info regarding the new GIGA-BYTE MAYA II GV-R9700 PRO Graphics Accelerator Powered by ATi Radeon 9700 PRO

Quote :: The GV-R9700 PRO is the first available graphics accelerator to fully support the AGP 8X standard. The AGP bus provides the crucial high-bandwidth link between the graphics card and the rest of the PC. It carries a variety of different types of data, including 3D models, textures, shaders, drawing commands, and video streams. The GV-R9700 PRO is also the first graphics processor that can render up to eight pixels simultaneously with full floating point precision. This is accomplished by eight parallel 128-bit floating-point rendering pipelines, each with its own independent texture unit and pixel shader engine. The texture unit of each rendering pipeline can sample up to 16 textures in a single rendering pass. These textures can be one-, two-, or three-dimensional, with bilinear, tri-linear, or anisotropic filtering applied depending on the desired quality level
