Q: What kind monitors can display 800x600 modes or higher resolution mode? Explain and Suggestion: To display 800x600 resolution at 60Hz refresh rate, the monitor must be capable of synchronizing a 31.5KHz horizontal scan rate (e.g., NEC 2A, 3D). At 72Hz refresh rate, the monitor must be capable of synchronizing a 48.0KHz scan rate (e.g., Sony HG 1304, NEC 4D, 5D, Seiko 1450).
Q: Multiple images or unreadable screen after loading video driver. Explain and Suggestion: There are a variety of reasons why the display might be distorted. One common reason is a monitor mis-match. Some older multi-frequency monitors are unable to switch video modes without being turned off then turned on again. If the problem occurring in windows, make sure that you have loaded that proper video driver, and that the driver is compatible with the monitor being used.

Answer “Rendering Engine” generically applies to the part of the graphics engine that draws 3D primitives, usually triangles. In most implementations, the rendering engine is responsible for interpolation of edges and "filling in" the triangle. Q3 What does the set-up engine do in a graphics controller? Answer A set-up engine allows drivers to pass triangles in the form of raw vertex information;...
equipped CPU's are employed along with special-case software optimization techniques. As stated above, SW 3D can achieve credible results with today's (software optimized) applications, but the rising popularity of good 3D hardware at the consumer price level is inexorably compelling the public to expect hardware level scene enhancements and frame rates.
Note: Analog monochrome type monitors use green video for all video input and ignore red and blue video. Conversion Table: Pin Adapters If you will be using a 9-to-15-pin adapter cable to link your 9-pin monitor connector to the 15-pin accelerator card connector, check Table carefully before you install the cable.
