Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing AG200T8 -D64 VGA Card, a high
performance graphics accelerator that enables you to experience
the realistic and exciting 3D world.
This VGA card uses a Xabre 200 GPU (Graphics Processing
Unit), the first generation chip of the SiS 256-bit GPU family.
Xabre GPU integrates an 8X/4X/2X AGP controller with full side-
band and pipeline support, a 256-bit 3D/2D graphics engine and a
motion compensation MPEG I /MPEG II accelerator. It offers a
complete 128-bit DDR 400MHz memory data bus. It can achieve
ultra high 2D performance with the maximum memory bandwidth
up to 7.1 GB/s. An optimized 3D pipeline architecture is
implemented for eliminating the overhead resulted from texture
read, Z-buffer read/write and destination read latencies and
achieving a sustain throughput of over 90% of peak throughput
when texture, Z buffer and alpha blending functions are all enabled.
Xabre GPU also includes a video accelerator and a high
performance DVD/HDTV motion compensation logic to provide
very smooth DVD/HDTV playback. Xabre GPU is accompanied
with built -in TV-Out chip SiS301 that integrates a NTSC/PAL
video encoder with Macro Vision Ver. 7.1.L1 option for TV
display.
AG200T8-D64 enables a range of applications from 3D games to
HDTV, DVD, digital content creation, internet browsing and
general productivity. It is the best selection for your system.
