Introduction
The 3D Blaster
®
RIVA TNT2
PCI is a high quality 2D/3D/video graphics accelerator card
that is well suited for a wide variety of applications ranging from everyday desktop use to
gaming and entertainment.
Leveraging the RIVA TNT2 M64 graphics controller from NVIDIA
®
, the 3D Blaster RIVA
TNT2 PCI delivers high quality and performance. Its dual texture architecture can process 2
pixels or textures per clock cycle; this enables developers to create special effects such as
multi-layered textures, bump mapping to simulate rough surfaces, and environmental mapping
that gives objects reflective properties. Developers can take advantage of advanced filtering
modes (including trilinear mipmapping and anisotropic filtering) with full scene anti-aliasing
to create realistic images that rival more expensive graphics workstations.
