These AGP 8X bus accelerators are capable of driving extremely complex graphics and character animation images on your desktop PC with unparalleled speed and clarity-providing beautiful images like those you've never experienced before. The particular emphasis of this AGP's ability is ease of play for all top-end PC games with the preferred resolution, unique visual effects and life-like animation these games require. Like many other of these realistic graphical improvements, the 3DForce4 Ti4200-8Xand the 3DForce Ti4200-64-8X (as well as the games) are best used in combination with newer, high-end desktop PCs'. The nVIDIA GeForce4 Titanium Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is at the root of the advanced nFiniteFXTM II new technology from nVIDIA, and it delivers up to three times the performance of the GeForce3TM. Dual Vertex Shaders inject personality into characters and environments, and enable these Pixel Shaders with new Z-correct bump mapping ability, which compose all of the life-like surface details like so real on your screen. The most significant new feature is the "Quad Cache", four individually dedicated and optimized memory caches allowing almost instant pipeline access and, as a bonus, the reuse of loose bandwidth as well. Built-in amazing 64MB/128MB frame buffers; up to a 650MHz of DDR memory-the world's faster; a 300MHz core clock for unmatched clock speed, and 113 million transistors, the Titanium GPUTM delivers nearly twice the memory bandwidth of the previous high performance GPU, and enables end users to run applications at highest resolutions with astonishingly fast frame refresh rates. Another feature of the 3DForce4 Ti4200-8X and 3DForce4 Ti4200-648X is the video accelerator, which integrates the HDVP (High Definition Video Processor) and DVD (Digital Versa Display) playback with higher definition at greatly increased frame rates. A leverage of combination of hardware and software technology , nVIDIA's new GeForce4TMTitanium GPU will provide many of the new features and benefits to you look for in your desktop computing as well as the best-performance, combing usual quality and exceedingly crisp resolution. With all of this, 3DForce4 Ti4200-8X and 3DForce4 Ti420064-8X video cards will bring-up a new level of graphics accomplishment and flexibility to the high-end PC market! 5 Features nFiniteFX II Engine for full programmability · · · · · · · · · Dual programmable Vertex Shaders Procedural deformations Programmable matrix palette skinning Real-time hair and fur shading Keyframe animation interpolation Morphing Fog effects: Radial, Elevation, None-linear Lens effects: Fish eye, Wide angle, Fresnel effects, Water refraction Programmable Pixel Shaders Accuview-high-resolution antialiasing · · · · Accuview technology delivers highest performance and nopenalty Quincunx AA quality Advanced technology ensures rock-solid compatibility with all applications New sub pixel sample locations provide improved AA quality High quality 4xS mode for incredible image quality nVIEW display technology · · · nView delivers the maximum flexibility and control in display options nView allows for one card to drive multiple displays of any type (Analog, Digital, TV) Allows for multiple configurations of CRTs and digital flat panels 6 · · · Multi-desktop integration Advanced windows management Individual application control Lightspeed Memory Architecture II Engine for Unmatched performance · · · · · · · · Four independent memory controllers Lossless Z-compression Z-occlusion culling Fast Z-clear Auto-precharge Shadow Buffers Integrated hardware lighting engine DirectX® and S3TC® texture compression Dual cube environment mapping capability · · · Reflection maps Accurate, real-time environment reflections Hardware accelerated real-time shadows True-color · · Z-correct bump mapping Phong-style lighting effects on bump maps with reflection High-performance 2D rendering engine · · · Optimized for 32-, 24-, 16-, 15- and 8bpp modes True-color hardware cursor with alpha Multi-buffering (double, triple or quad) for smooth animation and video playback 7 · High-quality HDTV / DVD playback High-definition video processor (HDVP) for full screen, full-frame video playback of HDTV and DVD content · · · · · · · · · Independent hardware color control for video overlay Hardware color-space conversion (YUV 4:2:2 and 4:2:0) Motion compression 5-tap horizontal by 3-tap vertical filtering 8:1 up/down scaling Per-pixel color keying Multiple video windows supported for CSC and filtering DVD sub-picture alpha-blended Motion adaptive deinterlacing composting Overall performance · · · · 4 billion fill rate (AA sample/sec) 1.03 Million per second triangles Up to 8GB per second on memory bandwidth 64MB/128MB DDR memory onboard supported Compatibility · · · nVIDIA Unified Driver Architecture (UDA) Fully compliant professional OpenGL 1.3 API with nVIDIA extension, on all Windows operation systems WHQL-certified for windows XP, Windows Me, windows 2000, Windows NT, and Windows 98 8 Operating Systems · Windows®95/98, Windows® Me, Windows® 2000, Windows® NT (all), Windows® XP System Requirement · · · · Intel Pentium® P4, or compatible system with AGP 2x4x8x Bus Extension Slot CD-ROM drive, Quad speed or faster Hard Drive with at least 10MB Free space MS Windows® 98/Me/NT 4.0/2000/XP operating systems Check List · · · · 3DForce4 Ti4200-8X, or 3DForce4 Ti4200-64-8X Multimedia Accelerator 3" cable convert TVout from MD 9pin to Composite RCA Software & Documents CD Quick Start Guide (Printed) 9 Hardware Description Bracket Width DVI-I 24Pin (DVI out) Height MD-4PIN (TVout) Y201 Y 202 nVIDIA GeForce4Ti 4200-8X Display Memory DB 15 VGA (RGB out) Y200 AGP Bus 2x 4x 8x Product Name / PCB Version 3DForce4 Ti4200-8X 3DForce4 Ti4200-64-8X 82218A 82218A Core Chipset nVIDIA GeForce4 Ti4200-8X nVIDIA GeForce4 Ti4200-8X PCB Size W = 6.875" x H = 4.25" W = 6.875" x H = 4.25" Memory / Size 8M*16 DDR x 8 4M*16 DDR x 8 128MB 64MB 10 Display Devices Output Quad Output Optional 1.
