HP VISUALIZE fx6 Graphics Board Configuration and Troubleshooting Guide

Upgrading your HP VISUALIZE fx6

You can upgrade your HP VISUALIZE fx6 graphics board with a 32
MB texture module accessory (part number D6795A).
Texture memory and acceleration is especially required for
rendering realistic 3-D images in visual simulation environments,
where texture mapping is widely used.
Texture mapping requires a large number of memory references
and computation, that often accounts for more than half the total
CPU time in the 3D pipeline.
This optional texture module provides accelerated texture mapping
support and 32 MB of Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) to buffer
texture maps. It brings you:
•
Dual texture acceleration processors
•
32 MB SDRAM dedicated texture memory, configured as dual
buffers of 16 MB
•
Point-sampled, bilinear, and trilinear MIP mapping
•
3D texture mapping
•
Shadow texture mapping
In addition to these features, the texture memory can also be used
as offscreen memory to accelerate applications that must save and
restore portions of the frame buffer, or depth buffer, while
manipulating objects.
