Overview
The ATI RAGE PRO TURBO is a highly integrated 64 bit graphics accelerator
with superior support for 3D and motion video, making it ideal for
multimedia PCs and workstations.
ATI RAGE PRO TURBO incorporates comprehensive support for Intel’s
Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) including 1X or 2X mode and Sideband
Addressing. RAGE PRO TURBO supports AGP Texturing (Execute mode), which
offers superior performance to the Local Texturing (DMA mode) used in
competing solutions.
The RAGE PRO TURBO delivers superior 3D acceleration and comprehensive 3D
support including support for true color (32bpp) rendering, a triangle
set-up engine, single-pass trilinear filtering, six perspectively correct
texturing modes, video texturing, Gouraud and specular shading, texture
compositing and a host of other 3D special effects.
The RAGE PRO TURBO includes motion video enhancements and TV-out support via
the ImpacTV2 companion chip, enabling ‘Broadcast PC’ systems. Multiple
options are available for MPEG-2 and DVD support: in software with ATI’s
MPEG-2 motion compensation circuitry, or using the ATI-DVD card or module
through the ATI Multimedia Channel (AMC).
