| 3D Blaster GeForce2 Ultra
The Game Accelerator with One Billion Pixel Power.
Introducing the game accelerator that pushes the one billion pixel per
second envelope to the limit - the 3D Blaster?GeForce2 Ultra. Powered by the
GeForce2 Ultra™, this incredible accelerator delivers massive fill rates of
up to one billion pixels and two gigatexels per second. Featuring the
NVIDIA?Shading Rasterizer (NSR), the 3D Blaster GeForce2 Ultra includes
advanced per-pixel shading capabilities for realistic visual effects. Plus
2nd-generation Transform and Lighting (T&L) engines render more than 31
million sustained triangles per second. And with 64MB of ultra-high-speed
Double Data Rate (DDR) memory effectively operating at 460MHz, you get 7.36
GB/sec of dedicated graphics memory bandwidth. That抯 insane power for even
the next-generation of 3D games!
Best of all, the 3D Blaster GeForce2 Ultra includes everything you'd
expect from a cutting-edge 3D accelerator: 256-bit graphics architecture,
AGP 4X with Fast Writes support, true color 32-bit 3D rendering, 32-bit
Z/stencil buffer, DXTC and S3TC texture compression for Direct3D?and
OpenGL?and superior video capabilities including MPEG1 and MPEG2 playback.
