Viewing 3D Graphics

RADEON 9800 PRO MAC EDITION’s 3D Acceleration

features supports the following advanced 3D graphics

capabilities:

• 8 Pipeline architecture.

• 256 bit memory interface.

• 4 parallel vertex pipelines.

• 128 bit floating point shader pipelines.

• 350 million triangles per second transform rate.

• Single Pass multi-texturing for up to 16 textures.

• Full Scene Antialiasing (gamma corrected, up to 6x, Super-

Sampling or Multi-Sampling).

• Bilinear, Trilinear, and 16x Anisotropic filtering.

• Shadow acceleration.

In addition, the RADEON 9800 PRO MAC EDITION brings

new and exciting graphics technologies to the Macintosh®

platform:

SMOOTHVISION™is an anti-aliasing solution that raises the

bar for image quality using programmable multi-sampling

methods to post-process graphics before they are displayed.

SMARTSHADER™is a new technology which revolutionizes

the graphics pipeline by making both the geometry processing

and pixel processing stages more programmable than ever

before. Developers can easily create amazing new graphics

effects while maintaining a high level of performance.

HYPER Z™makes Z-buffer bandwidth usage more efficient by

decreasing the amount of information sent to the frame buffer.

RADEON 9800 PRO MAC EDITION only displays 3D

graphics in thousands and millions of colors. When you set your

display to 256 colors, this will affect Finder, OpenGL, Quartz

Extreme, and QuickTime®acceleration.
