NVIDIA GEFORCE3 VS SAPPHIRE 9000 PRO"The Nvidia GeForce3 is tested against the Sapphire Radeon 9000 Pro, the Nvidia GPU is made by Nvidia and the Radeon 9000 Pro is made by ATI. We will answer the question is the Nvidia or Sapphire Radeon 9000 Pro faster? We will be using a collection of software including 3dmark 2001 SE, Quake 3 Arena, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Serious Sam - SE and UT2003.""The NVIDIA ™ family of graphics processing units (GPUs) shakes up the gaming industry with unprecedented visual effects and sizzling frame rates—injecting life into the previously artificial world of computer-generated graphics. Powered by the new NVIDIA nfiniteFX™ Engine and Lightspeed Memory Architecture, the Ti 500, Ti 200, and original GPUs enable users to experience a rich environment instead of just looking at it on a computer screen." "The nfiniteFX Engine - With the nfiniteFX engine's programmability, games and other graphics-intensive applications can offer more exciting and stylized visual effects. Vertex and Pixel Shaders are two patented architectural advancements that allow for a multitude of effects." "3D Textures - A new teachnology that is part of the nfiniteFX Engine, 3D textures make hollow objects solid with true three-dimensional material properties such as wood grain or marbling." "Shadow Buffers - Another new feature of the Titanium series, shadow buffers create realistic shadow effects in real time. Enables self-shadowing for characters and objects, and softens the edges of shadows for realistic effects, adding depth to scenes and highlighting spatial relationships between objects." FEATURES OF THE NVIDIA GEFORCE3"NVIDIA nfiniteFX Engine - NVIDIA’s programmable Vertex and Pixel Shaders, and 3D textures. The nfiniteFX engine gives developers the freedom to program a virtually infinite number of custom special effects, in order to create true-to-life characters and environments." "Pixel Shaders - Part of the nfiniteFX engine, Pixel Shaders alter lighting and surface effects that replace artificial, computerized looks with materials and surfaces that mimic reality." "Shadow Buffers - Part of the nfiniteFX II and nfiniteFX Engines, shadow buffers enable self-shadowing for characters and objects, and soften the edges of shadows for realistic effects, adding depth to scenes and highlighting spatial relationships between objects." "High-Definition Video Processor (HDVP) - Turns your PC into a fully functional DVD player, and an HDTV player with the purchase of an additional third-party decoder." "High-Resolution Antialiasing (HRAA) - Delivers fluid frame rates of 60 frames per second or more at high resolutions, such as 1024x768x32 or higher, with full-scene antialiasing (FSAA) turned on. Featuring the Quincunx AA mode, HRAA delivers a high level of detail and performance for all applications." "Lightspeed Memory Architecture - NVIDIA memory bandwidth optimizations designed to make complex scenes faster. These optimizations make full-scene antialiasing (FSAA) practical for the first time, enabling users to enjoy high-resolution antialiasing (HRAA)." "Digital Visual Interface (DVI) - NVIDIA GPUs offers broad TMDS transmitter support for maximum flat panel compatibility." "AGP 4X/2X and AGP Texturing Support - Takes advantage of new methods of transferring information more efficiently, and allows content developers to use high-quality, 32-bit color textures and high-polygon-count scenes." "Microsoft DirectX 8.1 and OpenGL 1.3 Optimizations and Support - Delivers the best performance and guarantees compatibility with all current and future 3D applications and games." "TV-Out and Video Modules - Gives end users the option of big-screen gaming, digital timeshifting VCR, and video-editing applications." "World's Fastest DDR Memory Interface - 7.36GB per second memory subsystem ensures peak performance and the smoothest frame rates ever."
