About the GeForce3 Ti 500/200: The new GeForce3 Ti 500 and GeForce3 Ti 200 GPUs bring many new innovations to the consumer desktop PC, including support for shadow buffer technology and 3D textures. The use of shadow buffers―hardware acceleration for creating realistic shadows―has been field proven for such animated films as Columbia Pictures computer-generated (CG) motion picture Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, but until today, the technology was only available on professional rendering equipment. The support for 3D textures allows developers to create an unlimited palette of visual effects, including the ability to make hollow objects solid, and adorn them with additional three-dimensional properties such as wood grain or marbling. These new features, combined with the programmable nfiniteFX? Engine and NVIDIA GeForce3 Lightspeed Memory Architecture, deliver the most visually compelling and complete graphics experience available today. The GeForce3 Ti series is the reference platform of choice for Windows XP, as well as the technology foundation for the Microsoft Xbox? game console.
NVIDIA has also licensed graphics technology supported in the original GeForce3 architecture for use in both the Microsoft DirectX® and the SGI? OpenGL® 1.3 application programming interfaces (APIs).
