3D graphics features

Full OpenGL* 1.3 ICD (Installable Client Driver)
Compatible with DirectX* 9.0, 8.x, and 7.x
- Specific features of DirectX 9.0 are supported
32 bit per pixel (bpp) True Color 3D support
- Allows for high quality textures and rendering
3D performance features
- 200 MHz Core Graphics Clock
- Support for DDR SDRAM memory improves 3D video memory performance
  - DDR SDRAM gives a large performance boost in 3D noticeable between PC1600 and PC2100 memory
  - Since the frame buffer, depth buffer, and textures all share memory bandwidth, increasing the bandwidth gives large gains in 3D performance
- Zone Rendering Technology
  - Renders the 3D scene in pieces to reduce the required memory bandwidth for a given scene
3D setup and render Engine
- Triangles, strips, and fans
- Pixel Accurate Fast Scissoring and Clipping operation
- Backface culling
- Anti-aliased lines (OpenGL only)
- Sprite points
Texture Engine
- Up to 4 Textures / Pixel on a one pass
- Up to 2048x2048 texture size
- Per Pixel Perspective Corrected texture mapping
- Single Pass Texture compositing
- 12 Level of Detail MIP map sizes from 1x1 to 2Kx2K
- All texture formats including 32-bit RGBA and 8-bit palette
- Alpha and Luminance maps
- Texture ColorKeying/ChromaKeying
- Bilinear, Trilinear MIP-Mapped filtering
- Anisotropic filtering
  - High quality views of oblique surfaces
- Cubic Environment Reflection mapping
- Embossed and Environment (DOT3) Bump-Mapping
  - Models realistic surface details
- Compressed textures
Rasterization features
- Flat & Gouraud shading
- Color Alpha Blending for transparency
- Vertex and Programmable Pixel Fog and Atmospheric effects
- Color Specular lighting
- Line and Full-Scene anti-aliasing
- 16-bit and 24-bit Z and W buffering
  - High precision depth buffer increases overall scene quality
- 8-bit Stencil buffering
  - Often used for shadows
- Double and Triple Render buffer support
- 16-bit and 32-bit color
- Transparency / translucency (alpha blending)
  - Effects like force fields, flames, and plasma beams
- Destination Alpha
- Fast Clear support
