ATI FIREGL X3 DRIVER

This isn't of as much importance in a workstation part, as the fixed function path will be more often stressed, but it's worth noting that this core is based on the desktop part and we didn't pick up this information from any of our desktop briefings or data sheets.

Anti-aliased points and lines - Lines and points are smoothed as they're drawn in wireframe mode. As soon I reduced the resolution from the main monitor to by , was everything stable, but that's not what I want, I need the maximum resolution on the main monitor.

Two-sided lighting - In the fixed function pipeline, enabling two-sided lighting allows hardware lights to illuminate both sides of an object. I just had a bad experience with the Realizm !

It is possible for ATI to handle completing two vector 3 operations and 2 scalar operations in combination with a texture operation every clock cycle.

Undoubtedly, the FireGL line also features a different memory management setup and driver development focuses more heavily on OpenGL and stability.

This is much higher quality and faster than FSAA when used for wireframe graphics, and is of the utmost importance to designers who use workstations for wireframe manipulation the majority of the 3D workstation market.

Even 3Dlabs was unable to give me the necessary support and do not answer anymore!

I send it back, and I'm looking for an other card. As soon I reduced the resolution from the main monitor to bywas everything stable, but that's not what I want, I need the maximum resolution on the main monitor.

The specs from 3Dlabs resolution table is giving by pixels maximum! The FireGL can only support between and shader instructions depending on the conditions, and uses fp24 for processing. The internals are the differentiating factor. I wonder if the FireGL X3 will do the job? Interestingly, in the documents that tai the features of the FireGL X3, we see that "Full DX9 vertex shader support with 4 vertex units" is mentioned in addition to its "6 geometry engines".

Anti-aliased points and lines - Lines and points are smoothed as they're drawn in wireframe mode. But we'll have to see how that pans out when we've taken a look at the numbers. This puts ATI behind when it comes to video editing, video walls, multi-system displays, and broadcast solutions. Quad-buffered stereo 3D support - This enables smooth real-time stereoscopic image output by supporting a front-left, back-left, front-right, and back-right buffer for display.

The hierarchical z engine looks at tiles of pixels in the case of the FireGL 16x16 blocksand if the entire block is occluded, up to pixels can be eliminated in one clock. Since the texture unit does not share hardware with either of the shader math c3, ATI is able to handle theoretically more math per clock cycle in its pixel shaders than NVIDIA.

As the ATI part isn't positioned as an ultra high end workstation solution, we'll be focusing more on price performance. What are exactly the several resolutions possible with the FireGL X3 using 2 monitors?

Using the main monitor for images analyses quality control and the slave monitor for tools, I was unable to have a stable image at by pixels.

Any comment will be appreciated, Best regards, Jean Reply. It's these blocks on which each quad pipe shares its efforts. Sign up now Username Password Remember Me. As far as rasterization is concerned, ATI does not support any floating point framebuffer display types. I cannot find it on the specs. We can see that the ATI vector unit supports the parallel operation of a 4x bit vector unit and a bit scalar unit.

This can significantly speed up things like displaying pop-up windows or selection highlights in 3D applications. The highest accuracy framebuffer that the Xti X supports is a bit integer format, which is good enough for many applications today.

This is useful for viewing cut-away objects. This obviously indicates that 2 of the geometry engines don't handle full DX9 functionality. While the Wildcat4 -or even the VP Pro have a very stable screen at maximum resolution.
