The Intel® 82865G Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) supports the following 2D/3D graphic features:

• 3D graphics features
• 2D graphics features

• Full OpenGL* 1.3 ICD (Installable client driver)
• DirectX* 7.x, 8.x, & 9.x support
• 32 bpp True Color 3D support
  • Allows for high-quality textures and rendering
• 3D performance features
  • Intel® Extreme Graphics 2 Technology
  • Rapid Pixel and Texel Rendering Engine (RPTR) architecture
  • Support for Dual-Channel DDR memory improves 3D video memory performance
    • Dual-Channel DDR gives a large performance boost in 3D.
    • Since the frame buffer, depth buffer, and textures must all share memory bandwidth, increasing the bandwidth gives large gains in 3D performance.
  • Zone Rendering Technology (Intel Extreme Graphics Driver PV13.1 and later)
    • Renders the 3D scene in pieces to reduce the required memory bandwidth for a given scene
