Leadtek's Next Generation WinFast 3D L2000 Provides Workstation Performance 3D Solutions on the PC.FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 25, 1996--As the industry's leading supplier of graphics and video accelerators, Leadtek Research, Inc. today announced full-featured workstation class 3D graphics accelerator -- WinFast 3D L2000. Based on GLINT 300SX 3D processor and GLINT Delta Geometry Engine from 3Dlabs, the WinFast 3D L2000 provides workstation class 3D graphics and high performance 2D acceleration for Pentium, Alpha and PowerPC processors. The WinFast 3D L2000 accelerates all rendering operations of OpenGL, including Gouraud shading, depth buffering, fogging, anti-aliasing, alph blending, clipping, texture mapping, scissor scissor pertaining to scissors; like scissors in effect. scissor bite see scissor bite. scissor mouth a narrow space between the rami of the mandible so that the molar arcades do not meet. and stipple stip·ple tr.v. stip·pled, stip·pling, stip·ples 1. To draw, engrave, or paint in dots or short strokes. 2. To apply (paint, for example) in dots or short strokes. 3. mask, dithering Simulating more colors and shades in a palette. In a monochrome system that displays or prints only black and white, shades of grays can be simulated by creating varying patterns of black dots. This is how halftones are created in a monochrome printer. and logical operations, all in real time. The integrated GLINT 300SX 3D processor and Delta Geometry Engine with on-board VGA (Video Graphics Array) The display standard for the PC. All PC display adapters support VGA, and Windows machines boot up in "VGA mode" before switching to higher resolutions. and 32-bit Z-buffer, WinFast 3D L2000 is an ideal solution for CAD, 3D animation, VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) A 3D graphics language used on the Web. After downloading a VRML page, its contents can be viewed, rotated and manipulated. Simulated rooms can be "walked into." The VRML viewer is launched from within the Web browser. and virtual reality applications under Windows NT and OpenGL. Windows 95 solution will be available in August. "A lot of professional users are looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. workstation class 3D and 2D graphics solutions with affordable price for PC systems. The WinFast 3D L2000 has the manufacturer's suggested retail price of $1,795 and will be the best solution for all Pentinum, Alpha and PowerPC users." said Hun Shen YUE, vice president of Leadtek Research, Inc. "For high end products, technical support and product reliability are key issues. Professional users and VARs need to get support from R&D group, not from customer service department. We have four project centers in Japan, Taiwan, Germany, and California. Our product quality is second-to-none." Workstation Class Performance Utilizing the 3Dlab's GLINT 300SX processor and GLINT Delta Geometry Engine, the WinFast 3D L2000 significantly improves performance by 10 times for OpenGL applications and MIP-mapped bilinear bi·lin·e·ar adj. Linear with respect to each of two variables or positions. Used of functions or equations. Adj. 1. bilinear - linear with respect to each of two variables or positions textures. -- Over 700K meshed, Gouraud shaded, depth buffer triangles per second. -- Over 1M 10-pixel vectors per second at 24-bit true color. -- Over 500K 10x10 rectangles per second at 24-bit true color. 16MB Memory Full Featured 3D Graphics Accelerator The WinFast 3D L2000 features 8MB of DRAM for the Z- buffer to speed hidden surface removal See z buffer. , and 8MB of VRAM See video RAM. VRAM - video random-access memory for double-buffering at high resolutions up to 1600 x 1200. Support for Industry Standards WinFast 3D L2000 offers unprecedented performance for 3D applications running on Windows NT, Windows 95. WinFast 3D L2000 also supports accelerated-X drivers for the X- Window System by X-inside. Standard Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are supported, such as OpenGL, OpenInventor, RenderWare, Brender, Reality Lab and other 3D games API. Accelerated application driver support includes AutoCAD, 3D Studio, Pro/ENGINEER, Pro/JR, MicroStation and many other leading 3D applications.
