We know that some of you like to
know exactly what is under the hood of the latest and greatest GPU, so
this is what the ASUS V8460 Ultra Geforce4 Ti 4600 is all
about.
• Dual programmable Vertex
Shaders • Advanced programmable Pixel Shaders • nVIDIA Lightspeed
Memory Architecture™ II • nVIDIA Accuview™ Antialiasing • 3D
Textures • Shadow Buffers • 4 dual-rendering pipelines • 8
texels per clock cycle • Dual cube environment mapping • 128MB
high-speed DDR RAM memory at 660MHz DDR • High-Definition Video
Processor (HDVP) • AGP 4X with Fast Writes • AGP 4X / 2X and AGP
Texturing support • 32-bit color with 32-bit Z/stencil buffer •
Z-correct true, reflective bump mapping • High-performance 2D
rendering engine • Hardware accelerated real-time shadows •
True-color hardware cursor • Integrated hardware transform and
lighting engine • High-quality HDTV/DVD playback • TV-Out and
Video Modules • Multibuffering (double, triple, quad) for smooth
animation and video playback • Microsoft DirectX® and S3TC® texture
compression • 10.4 GB/sec. memory bandwidth • 136 million
triangles/sec. setup engine • 4.8 billion AA sample/sec. fill
rate • 1.23 trillion operations/sec.
Impressive numbers from what has
already proved to be a successful design.
A quick inspection of the detailed
specification shows us that we are dealing with some big numbers with this
video card. 128 MB of video RAM should help by providing larger buffers
for the improved anti-aliasing logic, one that puts out almost 5 billion
samples per second.
