(T&L) at
75 million triangles/second peak processing capability.
PIXEL TAPESTRY II, the RADEON 8500 3D rendering engine, powers an
incredible 2.4 Gigatexels per second for the highest fill rates in 32-bit at
high resolutions.
Industry-leading video playback
ATI VIDEO IMMERSION II technology enables integration of industry-leading
digital video features, including advanced de-interlacing algorithms for
unprecedented video quality and integrated digital TV decode capability.
