Wildcat4
Wildcat4 continues 3Dlabs’ tradition of offering high-end features and
quality for unmatched designer productivity. There are two Wildcat4 models:
- Wildcat4 7210
— Ultra high-end with a total of 384MB of on-board memory—the first
AGP8x add-in board to offer this capacity.
- Wildcat4 7110
— High-end with an impressive 256 MB total on-board memory.
 Wildcat4
technology takes complete advantage of the new AGP 8x interface standard,
transferring 2GB of graphics information per second between the graphics card
and system. The Wildcat4 architecture also combines geometry and raster
engines into a single, high-performance, high-bandwidth, integrated processor
for today’s best professional graphics performance on the desktop.
Wildcat VP
Uses 3Dlabs' Visual Processing Architecture to integrate over
200 32-bit processors into a single Visual Processing Unit (VPU) for a
staggering 200 Gflops or more and over 1.2 TeraOps of programmable power.
Wildcat VP' provides industrial-strength 2D and 3D performance, quality and
functionality for OpenGL and Direct3D applications. Additionally, Wildcat VP's
genuine programmability throughout the entire graphics pipeline provides a
superset of traditional graphics processor functionality and is a step towards
interactive RenderMan-class rendering. Wildcat VP supports the emerging
high-level shading languages, such as OpenGL 2.0, that extend the boundaries
of interactive visual realism
Offered in three price/performance
models: VP760, VP870
and VP970.
Wildcat III 6210
The Wildcat III 6210 has 516MB of total
onboard memory and standard support for dual analog and digital monitors (under Windows 2000 and
XP). So, when you're working on a complex project or a large assembly, you can increase your visual real estate two-fold.
With standard multiview and genlock support, DCC, Video Production, CAVE, and Visual Simulation professionals can synchronize multiple Wildcat III 6210s together or to an external sync source.
Wildcat III 6110
The Wildcat III 6110 offers the same innovative 3Dlabs
technology of the 6210 with 208MB of total memory.
 Wildcat II 5000
Combines full-featured 3D acceleration and exceptional 2D
performance in a single-pipeline configuration including 64 MB of powerful,
dedicated frame buffer and texture memory. With 3Dlab's performance-boosting
DirectBurst technology, analog or digital monitor support, and stereo viewing,
the Wildcat II 5000 offers the professional features needed for
precise, interactive designs.
