1. Introduction

The MVGA-NVTNT2A/AL (TwiN-Texel) architecture is the second
generation integrated,128-bit 3D Processor that processes 2 pixels-per-clock
cycle enabling single-pass multi-texturing.MVGA-NVTNT2A/AL 32-bit
color pipeline, 24-bit Z-buffering, 8-bit stencil buffer and per-pixel mip-
mapping precision delivers unsurpassed quality and performance allowing
developers to write standards based applications with stunning visual effects
and realism.
