Hardware Design

The Fire GL2 is an AGP/ATX card based upon the IBM RC 1000/
GT 1000 chipset.

The RC1000 256 bit graphics rasterizer provides the functionality of a
VGA controller, a 2D/3D raster engine with geometry pipeline setup
processor, and a 300 MHz RAMDAC. It also supports video streaming
by providing color space conversion and a bilinear scaling unit.

The GT1000 hardware geometry engine is a complete tranformation and
lighting engine with hardware implementation of the full open OpenGL
pipeline and most of the Direct3D geometry pipeline.
