ATI Rage Fury Pro

As I mentioned earlier the card includes a wide range of 3D acceleration features such as

• OpenGL ICD for Windows NT 4.0 & Windows 98/95
• DirectX, Direct3D, DirectDraw
• Triangle Setup Engine
• Texture Cache
• Bilinear/Trilinear Filtering
• Line & Edge Anti-Aliasing
• Texture Compositing
• Texture Decompression
• Specular Lighting
• Perspectively Correct Texture Mapping
• Mip-Mapping
• Z-buffering and Double-buffering
• Bump mapping

The list goes on and on. Currently it’s unlikely that games will make full use of all the supported 3D features, it’s nice to see ATI thinking well ahead of the future.

The card also supports textures of up to 2048 x 2048, and since most gamers play games in the range of 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768, the card’s performance is quite sufficient. And due to the increased 32-bit rendering performance there isn’t a significant performance drop even at high resolutions like 1024 x 768.
