4x AGP GeForce 256 Graphics Accelerator with GeForce 256 R e v o l u t i o n a r y graphics solution for high GPU arc h i t e c t u re performance desktops and workstations.

VisionTek’s 4x AGP GeForce 256 graphics accelerator delivers the revolutionary power of the NVIDIA GeForce 256 for the ultimate in 3D performance. The first-ever graphics processor unit (GPU), the GeForce 256 incorporates a host of innovative features to provide unprecedented visual power for high performance desktops and workstations. With significantly more detailed geometry, enhanced Artificial Intelligence (AI), and higher fidelity physics, developers and users experience exciting and immersive gameplay and ultra- realistic visuals with any graphics application.

The GeForce 256 moves the entire 3D rendering pipeline from the CPU to the graphics card, offload- ing these computationally intense tasks from the CPU. The immensely complex GeForce 256 harnesses 50 Gigaflops of 3D-dedicated floating-point calculation capa- bility to deliver an unprecedented 15 million sustained poly- gons per second and 480 million pixels per second. GeForce 256 supports up to 128MB of frame buffer memory, AGP 4X with fast writes and a 350MHz RAMDAC to drive the most extreme resolutions and color depths. In addition to DirectX support, the GeForce 256 GPU provides full support for an OpenGL® Installable Client Driver (ICD) for Windows® 2000 and Windows NT®.
