14 DAY TRIAL // Albatron Technology recently announced the new AGP6800GS VGA card featuring an NVIDIA GeForce 6 series GPU for AGP based mainboards. Albatron has come out with this high-performer, which will match the capabilities of similar high-performance cards but will launch with a very affordable price.
With the AGP6800GS, you are talking about serious gaming equipment. The engine core is rated at a speedy 350 MHz and contains 12 pipelines. This card also has a very attractive memory configuration using 256 MB of DDR3 memory with a 256-bit memory bus. The memory can also clock up to an impressive 1 GHz.
The AGP6800GS comes packed with NVIDIA's most durable lineup of graphics applicationsincluding a 3rd generation CineFX graphics engine that provides awesome 3D gaming. Also included are Intellisample 3.0 and Ultrashadow II technologies that render realistic images of the most difficult graphics applications.
Intellisample is a high-resolution compression technology (HCT) that is supported in the enthusiast and performance-class GeForce FX GPUs and delivers the next step in performance and visual quality, compressing color, texture, and z-data.
NVIDIA UltraShadow II gives developers the ability to calculate shadows much more quickly by eliminating unnecessary areas from consideration. By defining a bounded portion of a scene (called "depth bounds"), and focusing calculations only on the area most affected by the light source, developers can greatly accelerate the shadow generation process.
The AGP6800GS contains two independent 400 MHz RAMDACs with resolutions up to 2048 x 1536x 32 bpp at 85 Hz. This goes hand-in-hand with the card's nView dual display technology. The AGP6800GS will support TV-OUT, DVI and D-sub interfaces.
Starting out as Chun Yun Electronics, the Albatron company was primarily a display manufacturer, producing wide-screen multimedia monitors, rear projection systems, TVs, and plasma displays. The change in name to Albatron in 2002 signaled the dawning of a new product line and a new direction.
Serious gamers looking for a price-friendly VGA upgrade need to put the AGP6800GS on top of their lists. With powerful memory configurations and NVIDIA's proven graphics capabilities, the AGP6800GS is ready to rock your gaming world with performance.
