Features

* HyperZ III™
The latest generation of ATI's innovative HYPER Z™ bandwidth saving technology, HYPER Z III+ plays a pivotal role in allowing RADEON 9800 series and RADEON 9600 series products to reach unprecedented levels of rendering performance. It builds on earlier versions of the technology by adding a more flexible Z-buffer cache that is optimized for the rendering of dynamic real-time shadows. Shadows play a key role in achieving realistic and immersive virtual environments, and will be used extensively in upcoming 3D game titles.
* VIDEOSHADER™
RADEON™ 9700 VPU continues to provide industry-leading video playback with VIDEOSHADER™ technology: a seamless integration of pixel shaders with video. The RADEON™ 9700 VPU also offers FULLSTREAM™ video de-blocking technology that removes blocky artifacts (noise removal filtering) for captured video and provides sharper image quality.
* SMARTSHADER™ 2.0
SMARTSHADER™ 2.0 technology allows users to experience complex, movie-quality effects in next-generation 3D games and applications: fastest speeds.
* SMOOTHVISION™ 2.1
Technology provides new levels of image quality using state-of-the-art Anti-Aliasing (AA) and Anisotropic Filtering (AF) techniques.
