Texture Processing

Texture processing is provided by the onboard graphics and texture-processing
engine. Full texture processing is supported, including trilinear interpolation
of MIP-mapped images.
There are 64 MB of texture memory included onboard.

Z Buffering

The system supports hardware Z buffering at a depth of 32 bits with any
resolution up to 1024 x 768. At 1280 x 1024, the Z buffer resolution is 24 bits.

DDC and DPMS Support

The PowerStorm 600 graphics controller provides hardware support for the
Display Data Channel (DDC) standard for communication between a host
workstation and its monitor. The controller supports the DDC 2B standard,
which allows for bidirectional communication.
The PowerStorm 600 graphics controller also provides hardware support for
the Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS) standard. DPMS allows
for a host workstation to transition its monitor to a power-saving mode.

Interfaces

The PowerStorm 600 graphics controller has a video output and a Stereo Sync
Output Port, as described in the following sections.
