The new turbo-charged ATI FireGL X3-256 is among the highest-performance workstation graphics accelerators designed for AGP-based workstations. Delivering fast 3D performance and superior quality graphics for professional applications, this powerful card is based on ATI’s stunning graphics architecture with six parallel geometry engines and sixteen parallel rendering pipelines. The FireGL X3-256 takes the leading computer-aided design (CAD) and digital content creation (DCC) applications to a new level of interactivity.
With 256MB of GDDR3 memory and hardware accelerated rendering using OpenGL Shading Language and DirectX 9 HLSL, the FireGL X3-256 empowers 3D professionals to realize a dramatic increase in productivity and a reduction in design cycle times, without sacrificing quality. All ATI FireGL boards are certified for the leading OpenGL and DirectX applications, with full support under Windows and Linux environments.
All advanced graphics features are available across the entire ATI FireGL product line from mobile workstations through high-end systems, and are enabled with a single graphics driver, simplifying system administration within the production environment.
