I. INTRODUCTION

Features

The ASUS 3DP-V500TX boards have been designed for high performance profes-
sional 3D graphics acceleration. This device combines workstation class 3D graph-
ics acceleration and state of the art 2D performance. All 3D rendering operations
are accelerated by 3Dlabs's Glint500TX chip including Gouraud shading, texture
mapping, depth buffering, antialiasing and alpha blending. The addition of Delta
chip enhances performance by off-loading the host of both the rendering and setup
calculations, whilst also reducing the PCI bandwidth requirements.
Based on the powerful ASUS 3DP-V500TX plus Delta combination, this boards
provides the ultimate 3D system performance for the power user. The ASUS 3DP-
V500TX provides greatly enhanced hardware support for texture mapping and sig-
nificant performance improvements.
