HISTORY OF 3D GRAPHICS

Currently the technology is more advanced and developed, the developers GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) began to increase their ability to produce a good vga card. Here are some vga card from the first until the present:

     NVIDIA GEFORCE 200 SERIES VGA output has the latest chipset from Nvidia managed memaukkan 1.4 billion transistors into the GPU. VGA is also a series of Nvidia's most powerful terkencang and capabilities.


     ATI RADEON R520 delivers VGA spec. memory is more efficient, better image quality and optimal performance. In addition vga features like the ability High Dynamic Range (HDR) lighting.






   

 


      VGA NVIDIA GEFORCE Nvidia has a rate 2 times faster performance than the previous series, it has a vga spec. DirectX 7, 4-pixel rendering pipeline, and a feature called "cube environment mapping" is a real time gunanyauntuk create the effect of reflection.

 




 NVIDIA GEFORCE SERIES 2 This is the first Nvidia vga to bring new features, namely the pixel shader as "Nvidia Shading rasterizer (NRZ)".


 




 S3 ViRGE stands for "ViRGE is a Virtual Reality Engine Graphics", vga is the first generation who have used 3D graphics technology. S3 ViRGE have a spec. 64-bit offers 4 MB of onboard memory, core and memory clockspeeds up to 66 MHz, and also supports features such as Bilinear and Trilenear texture filtering, MIP mapping, alpha blending, Z-buffering, and other 3D texture.

 ATI RAGE II has a spec. 32-bit memory bus, and memorynya only 2 MB. Because of weaknesses in the ATI 3D RAGE then be made into series-2nya song named RAGE II, which has spec. 8 MB SDRAM, 64-bit memory bus, memory clockspeeds up to 60 MHz, and supports the ability to play DVD playback.

 NVIDIA NV3VGA this is the first made from Nvidia, VGA is also made with the design of Microsoft's DirectX technology 5 API. NVIDIA NV3 has a spec. 4 MB memory, 100 MHz core clockspeeds, bandwidth 1.6 GB / s, 206 MHz RAMDAC and supports AGP 2x.

 NVIDIANV4 merupaka successor of VGA is NVIDIA NV3, but NVIDIA NV4 yamh no significant increase in the spec. such as maximum memory was increased to 16 MB and has clockspeeds at 110 MHz, but Nvidia adding several capabilities such as technologies on NVIDIA NV4 "second pixel pipelines", 32-bit true colors, and features Trilinear filtering.
