Maximum 2D & 3D Performance

RADEON™ VE provides leading 2D, 3D, and multimedia graphics performance for today's applications in full 32-bit color. Its 3D architecture also includes unprecedented innovations that enable advanced new features in upcoming applications without compromising performance. With flexible memory support, RADEON™ VE permits implementations targeted at both the consumer desktop and commercial desktop platforms.

PIXEL TAPESTRY™ Architecture

RADEON™ VE delivers unbelievably fast 32-bit color rendering performance and supports three-way multi-texturing and new 3D effects without compromising speed. The PIXEL TAPESTRY™ architecture is the first able to process up to three textures per pixel in a single clock cycle, bringing 3D worlds to life with incredible detail and realism. It easily deals with complex elements such as metals, liquids and wood and their interactions with lights and shadows.

Ideal for Windows® 2000

RADEON™ provides comprehensive support for all new Windows® 2000 display-oriented features including acceleration of new GDI extensions like Alpha BLTs, Transparent BLTs, and Gradient Fills, as well as exclusive, patent-pending hardware alpha cursor support.

Flexible, High Performance Memory Support

RADEON™ VE has leading-edge technology supporting traditional CRT monitors, flat panel displays and TVs. The dual digital-to-analog converter (DAC) configuration allows for cost-effective multi-monitor support at maximum resolutions. Dual display controllers allow each display to run independently, enabling simultaneous clear and refined images at high resolutions. Multiple combinations of CRT, digital displays and TVs can be used without compromising performance. This flexibility gives the user the ability to view multiple tasks and applications which is useful in a variety of situations such as desktop publishing, web browsing, code development, or small office/home office environments.
