feature industry-leading application performance, with a feature set
typically found on much more expensive high-end graphics workstations. The hard-
ware is designed for Windows NT
support for OpenGL 1.1, GDI, DirectDraw, and Direct3D.
Significant features of the hp fx
• 3D and depth texture mapping for volume visualization and real-time shadows.
• Texture maps up to 16384 × 16384 in size.
• A hardware-accelerated accumulation buffer for full scene antialiasing and
motion blur effects.
• Parallel visibility testing of bounding boxes for fast occlusion culling.
• Support for multiple display syncs for "cave" and "cove" displays.
• Up to 64MB of fully configurable shared framebuffer/texture memory. The
flexible shared memory design allows the user to balance texture map storage
requirements with pixel depth and desktop size.
• Identical software interfaces and device drivers for both the hp fx
graphics accelerators to reduce ISV certification expenses.
• Designed with the entire computer system in mind to maximize high-end 3D
application performance.
