Sun XVR-2500 Graphics Accelerator - Features & Benefits

Features and Benefits


Key Benefits

  • Sets a new level of graphics performance, allowing users to capitalize on 3-D application functionality.
  • Helps increase productivity of both users and computer resources
  • Minimizes performance hits to CPU and system memory
  • Applies 3-D textures in real-time, throughout the volume of a model, not just on the external surface
  • Accelerates performance of accumulation buffer operations used in depth-of-field, motion blur, shadow, and multi-pass rendering algorithms.
  • Supports 24-bit (RGB)/32-bit (RGBA) 2-D and 3-D on all of Sun's monitors, including Sun's 24” flat-panel display

Performance

  • Sets a new level of graphics performance, allowing users to capitalize on 3-D application functionality.
  • Real power to scale to large datasets.
