State-of-the
Art 3D Features:
The RIVA TNT2 3D pipeline maintains the highest vertex, Z-buffer,
and texture filtering throughput to achieve visually stunning interactive
3D:
- 100% hardware triangle setup
- TwiN-Texel (TNT2) 32-bit graphics pipeline: Single pass multi-texturing
support, square and non-square texture support
- Texture Blend support examples: Multi-texture - bump map Texture
modulation - light maps Reflection maps - detail textures Environmental
maps - procedural textures Point sampled, bilinear, trilinear
and 8-tap Anisotropic filtering (better than trilinear MIP mapping)
- Per pixel perspective correct texture mapping: fog, light, MIP
mapping
- 24-bit or 16-bit Z-buffer (floating point or integer)
- 8-bit stencil buffer
- Anti-aliasing: full scene, order independent
2D Performance Optimized:
The ERAZOR III's 2D rendering engine exploits state-of-the-art technology
to deliver industry-leading Windows acceleration performance. The
128-bit graphics engine is optimized for single cycle operation into
the 128-bit memory interface supporting over 2GBytes/s throughput.
Acceleration functions are optimized for the demands of DirectDraw
in Windows® 95 and Windows® 98.
AGP 4X/2X Modes:
As the 3D demands of today's applications and entertainment programs
continue to increase, the need for high performance transfer of
large amounts of graphics information also increases. ERAZOR III
provides the fastest PC interface available today. Whether your
system is AGP 2X or 4X, ERAZOR III supports full sideband addressing
with peak performance of 900MegaBytes/sec when in AGP 4X mode. For
those cases when the graphics exceed the available local memory,
the AGP capabilities of the ERAZOR III provide a seamless expansion
of the local memory to system memory.
16MB or 32MB Memory:
Quality 2D/3D requires high quality, high speed memory and the ELSA
ERAZOR III provides enough of both to give you the best performance
whether you are working or playing.
ELSA Advanced Utilities:
ELSA ERAZOR III is equipped with ELSA's exclusive WINman graphics
utility suite to provide you with the tools to custom configure
your system's graphics to the settings optimal for your needs. ELSA
WINman includes tools to adjust and set:
