3D Labs GLINT-GAMMA
The last difference between 3D workstations and PCs • The fastest CPU cannot keep today’s rasterization silicon saturated if running the geometry in software • Professional 3D is particularly demanding - Many small polygons used for precise modeling of surfaces - Viewperf uses polygons less than 1 pixel in size Application Application Complete geometry pipeline in software = 350K polygons/sec on a PII/266 100% of Rasterization in silicon - typically 500K-1M polygons per second Transforms Transforms Lighting Lighting Setup Setup DataSheet4U.com CPU running application & geometry = 350K...| Part No. | GLINT-GAMMA |
