ATI is extending its line of workstation graphics acceleratorstoday with the introduction of the high-end FireGL™ X2-256t. Based on ATI’saward-winning scalable workstation graphics architecture, this turbo-chargedgraphics board delivers the industry’s fastest 3D performance for products under$ 1000 (1).
The FireGL X2-256t is capable of handling users’ most demanding projects whenrunning high-end 3D applications based on OpenGL and DirectX 9. Featuringincreased engine and memory speeds, plus a redesigned board with aperformance-enhancing copper fan, the FireGL X2-256t delivers up to 25% moreprocessing power than its predecessor. Four geometry engines and eight parallelrendering pipelines power the board which comes with 256MB of graphics memoryand dual DVI-I connectors. The FireGL X2-256t delivers fast 3D performance,superior quality imaging and ISV certification for professional applicationssuch as 3dsmax, SolidWorks, MicroStation, Maya, and Softimage XSI.
“With performance that rivals competitive products costing twice as much, theFireGL X2-256t features advanced pixel shader support and the ability to rendercomplex models, scenes and effects in real-time,” said Dinesh Sharma, Director,Workstation Products, ATI Technologies. “This turbo-charged accelerator enables3D professionals to speed up their production pipeline, delivering high-endperformance and ISV certification for sophisticated CAD (computer aided design),solid modeling, DCC (digital content creation) and visual simulationapplications.”
The FireGL X2-256t has an MSRP of US $ 899 and will be available later this monththrough workstation OEMs, system integrators and value added resellers. TheFireGL X2-256t joins the existing products in the FireGL family including theentry-level FireGL™ T2-128, the mid-range FireGL™ Z1-128, the FireGL™ X1-128 andthe MOBILITY™ FireGL™ T2 processor for mobile workstations.
