OXYGEN GVX210 by 3Dlabs

High-end, 256-bit Graphics power for Demanding Workstation Professionals

Oxygen GVX210 delivers high-end geometry and rasterization graphics acceleration on a single AGP card for the most demanding workstation professionals. By integrating two 3Dlabs GLINT R3 rasterizers, the new generation GLINT Gamma G2 geometry processor and 64MB of memory on a single card, Oxygen GVX210 boosts the interactivity of huge models with a 256-bit memory bus and Virtual Textures that shatter the limitation of on-board  graphics memory capacity.

• 100% Complete OpenGL Geometry and Lighting Acceleration in Hardware
  On-bard hardware geometry acceleration boosts the interactivity of large models by up to three times and offloads the CPU for increased application performance. The 5Gflop, new generation GLINT Gamma G2 processes 100% of the OPenGL geometry pipeline in silicon, including 16 simultaneous light sources. 

• Virtual Textures Allows You to Manipulate up to 256MB of Textures
  An industry first that lets you manipulate up to 256MB of textures in a single scene. Oxygen GVX210 implements a full demand-paged virtual texture sub-system in hardware, using on-board graphics memory to cache huge textures stored in main system memory.

• PowerThreads SSE OpenGL Drivers with Dynamic Load Balancing
  3Dlabs' new-generation PowerThreads SSE OPenGL drivers are fully optimized for Intel Pentium III and AMD Athlon processors and dynamically balance geometry and lighting load between the GLINT Gamma hardware geometry processor and one or more host CPUs. PowerThreads SSE combines the power of geometry hardware plus the additional power of today's processors for full performance scalability with faster host CPUs.

• Seamless Dual-Head Support
  The Oxygen GVX210 supports dual high-resolution displays from a single card and seamlessly supports a total multi-monitor true-color desktop size of up to 4096x1536 with the flexibility to place a window anywhere on the desktop without interrupting OpenGL 3D acceleration.

• Control Panel Application Configuration
  3Dlabs advanced control panel and task-bar applet let you point and click to optimize your system configuration for your favorite professional applications
