The ?Big Bang? creation of your virtual world erupts from the RADEON? 9800 ATLANTIS PRO?s SMARTSHADER? 2.1 and SMOOTHVISION? 2.1 technologies. Delivering full acceleration of DirectX® 9.0 and OpenGL 2.0, your only limitation is your own imagination!
Features:
256MB or 128MB DDR memory accelerates the latest 3D games
256-bit memory interface removes hardware performance bottleneck and provides end users with faster 3D graphics
Industry's only 8-pipeline graphics solution in its 2nd generation, providing twice the rendering power of any currently competing product.
Supports the new AGP 8X standard, providing a high-speed link between the graphics board and the rest of the PC (2.0 GB/sec)
First to fully support DirectX® 9.0 and the latest OpenGL® functionality
New SMARTSHADER? 2.1 technology allows users to experience complex, movie-quality effects in next-generation 3D games and applications
SMOOTHVISION? 2.1 technology enhances image quality by removing jagged edges and bringing out fine texture detail, without compromising performance
128-bit floating-point color precision allows for a greater range of colors and brightness
Unique VIDEOSHADER? engine uses programmable pixel shaders to accelerate video processing and provide better-looking visuals
ATI's new FULLSTREAM? technology removes blocky artifacts from Streaming and Internet video and provides sharper image quality
ADDITIONAL POWER CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS
The Radeon 9800 Pro must be connected to the computer power supply to meet its performance and high-speed memory requirements. In order to supply the ATI Graphics Accelerator card with the necessary power, we have included the Power Extension Cable. Use the Power Extension Cable to connect the Radeon 9800Pro to the computer? hard Drive power connector.
1. Remove the power cable from the hard drive.
2. Connect the 4-pin connector of the Power Extension Cable to the Radeon 9800 Pro power connector.
3. Connect the Power Extension Cable to the power supply connector.
4. Connect the Power Extension Cable to the Hard Drive connector. Rancho*: Pay attention to the bold printed text: twice the rendering power? Holy cow! I'm eager to write my first thorough graphics card review and verify this claim! Sent one my way, please...
