    JA: What sorts of capabilities will this graphics card provide, and how will it compare to the current competition?

    Timothy Miller: Just a few highlights:

    # Dual-link DVI, analog VGA, and TV out (NTSC, PAL, SECAM, etc.)
    # Extremely high display resolutions (like over 2048x2048)
    # 1.6 billion pixels per second maximum memory bandwidth [2]
    # 128 megabytes of graphics and texture memory
    # PCI, AGP, and PCI-Express (preliminary release will be PCI only)
    # Most of OpenGL 1.3 plus many later features
    # Unified 2D and 3D pipelines
    # Half-height, short card for low-profile cases
    # Some MPEG support, such as automatic YUV to RGB conversion
    # Flashable boot PROM for booting in any supported platform
    # Emulation of VGA modes for boot in x86 platforms

    OpenGL support includes most of what you'd expect, including trilinear filtering, multitexturing, etc. The rendering pipeline is fully floating-point, internally. Framebuffer pixel format is always 32-bit ARGB.
