overview
ATI revolutionizes the world of graphics technology
with the Radeon™ 9700 Visual Processing Unit (GPU).
Featuring fast 3D graphics performance, coupled with
sophisticated real-time visual effects, unsurpassed
image quality and cutting-edge video features, Radeon™
9700 provides you with an amazing PC entertainment experience.
- First to fully support DirectX® 9.0
With its new SmartShader™ 2.0 technology, Radeon™
9700 supports DirectX® 9.0 and the latest OpenGL®
functionality to give developers the freedom to create
more complicated and realistic visual effects than ever
before.
- First 8-pixel pipeline architecture
Radeon™ 9700 is the first graphics technology capable
of processing 8 pixels simultaneously - twice as many
compared to any existing product. This highly optimized
design provides top 3D performance for both Direct3D®
and OpenGL® games and applications.
- 256-bit DDR memory interface
The high-bandwidth memory interface of the Radeon™
9700, utilizing the latest HyperZ™ III bandwidth-conserving
technology, removes a key performance bottleneck and
provides end users with faster graphics performance.
- Support for AGP 8X specification
Radeon™ 9700 supports the new AGP 8X standard,
which allows large volumes of texture and vertex data
to be transferred faster from system memory to the chip
(2.0 GB/sec).
- First to use pixel shaders to accelerate video
With ATI's new VideoShader™ technology, Radeon™
9700 continues the tradition of providing industry-leading
video and DVD playback. Radeon™ 9700 also offers
FullStream™ - a new technology that removes blocky
artifacts from video and provides sharper image quality.
