Features

High quality performance

RADEON™ comes powered by 64MB of DDR memory to accelerate all of today's hottest 3D games

With DDR memory you get twice the memory bandwidth for the highest data transfer rates through the pipeline

Delivers immersive, realistic 32-bit true color 3D graphics at the fastest possible framerates

Features ATI's HyperZ™ technology that improves memory bandwidth without the added cost of proprietary memory.

Best visual reality

RADEON™ graphics boards feature the leading-edge technology of the RADEON™ GPU

The RADEON™ CHARISMA ENGINE™ supports full transformation, clipping and lighting (T&L) at 30 million/second processing capability for a 10-fold improvement in 3D details

3D game characters are brought to life with the CHARISMA ENGINE™ support for other cutting-edge character animation such as vertex skinning and key frame interpolation

PIXEL TAPESTRY™ , the RADEON™ 3D rendering engine, powers up to an incredible 1.5 Gigatexels per second for unsurpassed graphics performance

Industry best DVD playback

Process full-frame rate, full-screen DVD or MPEG-2 video

Hardware DVD saves the expense of buying a separate MPEG-2/DVD decoder card

Integrated IDCT and motion compensation allows for DVD decoding with minimum CPU usage

HDTV ready

Video capture and TV/VCR-output support (optional features)

Radeon™ uses ATI’s RAGE THEATRE™ companion chip for high quality video encoding and decoding.

Capture MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 full motion video at 720x480 30 fps resolution

Grab still images from VCRs or camcorders with composite input

Use video-out to connect your PC to TV or VCR for recording

Create and edit professional-looking home videos using MPEG-2 video capture. Transfer them to CD and to watch on your DVD player. (Ulead Video Studio software required)
