Rage 128 Ss Ä RAGE ™128 Next Generation 3D and Multimedia Accelerator RAGE 128 GL for OpenGL Workstations and high-end entertainment PCs overview RAGE 128 VR ideal for stunning 2D & 3D performance on Mainstream PCs The ATI RAGE 128 is a fully integrated, ADVANCED 3D FEATURES 128-bit graphics and multimedia accelerator RAGE 128 is optimized for both DX6 and that offers leading-edge performance in all OpenGL acceleration. It provides full First chip to support new three vectors of visual computing: 3D, 2D, support of Direct3D texture lighting and and video. second-generation texture compositing. DDR SGRAM and popular Special effects such as complete alpha STUNNING PERFORMANCE blending, vertex and table-based fog, SDRAM memories RAGE 128 couples an advanced 128-bit video textures, texture lighting, reflections, engine with ATI's new SuperScalar shadows, spotlights, bump mapping, LOD Rendering technology (SSR) to provide biasing, and texture morphing are available. Optional support for TV-out stunningly fast 2D and 3D performance. AGP configurations can use system memory ATI's unique Twin-Cache Architecture (TCA) for additional textures. Hidden surface and Video Capture, enabling incorporates texture and pixel cache to removal uses 16, 24, or 32-bit Z-buffering. increase the effective memory bandwidth for "Broadcast PC" systems extra performance. The new Single-Pass NEW DIRECTX 6.0 FEATURES Multi Texturing (SMT) capability enables The RAGE 128 is ideally matched with ( advanced 3D effects like texturing, lighting DirectX 6.0, supporting new DirectX features and shading at full performance. The chip such as multitexturing, stencil planes, bump also incorporates ATI's new Concurrent mapping, vertex buffers, and direct walk of Command Engine (CCE), which takes full Direct3D/OpenGL vertex list. advantage of AGP data flow techniques for unprecedented Pentium II performance. 32MB FRAME BUFFER RAGE 128 includes Double Data Rate (DDR) THE IDEAL SGRAM at up to 125 MHz on a 64-bit MULTIMEDIA PLATFORM interface, and single data rate (SDR) RAGE 128 uses integrated DVD/MPEG-2 memory at up to 143 MHz on a 128-bit decoding, including iDCT and motion interface, for bandwidths of up to 2.0 compensation for top quality DVD with GB/sec. lowest CPU usage. The hardware subpicture decoder with interpolating AGP ™ or scaler and alpha compositor provide RAGE 128 PCI optimal DVD subpicture quality. RAGE 128 includes an enhanced, 16-bit Host Bus Interface video port with support for both ATI Multimedia Channel (AMC) and VIP Concurrent Command Engine 1.1, along with support for all VGA Graphics common HDTV formats.

    Appendix: Graphics Software Took Appendix Objectives: • Provide a comprehensive list of graphics software tools. • Categorize graphics tools according to their applications. Many tools come with multiple functions. We put a primary category name behind a tool name in the alphabetic index, and put a tool name into multiple categories in the categorized index according to its functions. A.I. Graphics Tools Listed by Categories We have no intention of rating any of the tools. Many tools in the same category are not necessarily of the same quality or at the same capacity level. For example, a software tool may be just a simple function of another powerful package, but it may be free. Low4evel Graphics Libraries 1. DirectX/DirectSD - - 248 2. GKS-3D - - - 278 3. Mesa 342 4.
