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.

Summary of Contents for HP P Class 733/800/866MHz / 1GHz

  • Page 1 Now, HP continues to evolve its hp visualize family of graphics adapters with the introduction of the hp visualize fx hp fx typically found on much more expensive high-end graphics workstations.
  • Page 2 Assuming an average triangle size of 29 bytes mit over 14 million triangles/sec to the graphics device. AGP 2X DMA is in perfect balance with the hp visualize personal workstation. The state of the art 133MHz front side bus provides a gross bandwidth of 1.06GB/sec.
  • Page 3 This frees the host CPU, leaving more processing power available for application work. The geometry engines use floating point units based on hp PA-RISC processor tech- nology to achieve maximum floating-point performance.
  • Page 4 • 16, 12, and 8 bit indexed textures • Pre-specular texture lighting for better realism Since textures are stored in the same block of memory as the framebuffer, desktop size, pixel format, and texture format determine the maximum texture size. The tex- ture processor supports texture sizes of up to 16384 x 16384.

Memory Architecture The hp fx device driver manages the memory to satisfy a broad range of framebuffer configura- tions and store memory-intensive texture maps.
