The 3D Blaster Annihilator 2 delivers up to 1.6 Gigatexels per second of peak fill rate performance, a more than three times improvement in texture processing power over any previous consumer graphics processor. Incorporating the NVIDIA Shading Rasterizer (NSR), this product delivers advanced per-pixel shading capabilities that simulate natural events and materials such as smoke, fog, cloth, plastic and water. The Hardware Anti-Aliasing ability of the 3D Blaster Annihilator 2 creates smooth lines and edges on all objects in 3D games and virtually eliminates jagged lines on surfaces or stair step effects. The Creative 3D Blaster Annihilator 2 designed for Compaq comes configured with an enormous 64MB of DDR memory, effectively operating at a clock speed of up to 333MHz, generating 5.3 GB/second of dedicated graphics memory bandwidth. Combined with a core clock speed of 200 MHz, this high-end solution provides one of the largest available memory configurations on the consumer market, and one of the fastest graphics solutions, making gaming at an amazing full 32-bit color at 1280x1024 a reality. The second-generation Transform and Lighting Engines in the 3D Blaster Annihilator 2 can process more than 25 million triangles per second. A High Definition Video Processor (HDVP) also allows users to transform their PCs into high-quality DVD players.
"The power of the 3D Blaster Annihilator 2 takes graphics professionals, DVD fans, and hardcore gamers to the next level," says John Troutman, vice president & general manager of Creative Labs, Malvern. "The 3D Blaster Annihilator 2 combined with Compaq Presario systems brings cutting edge graphics and technology to PC users."
"We are very excited with our continued partnership with Creative to deliver such a high end video solution to our customers," says Mark Vena, Director of Marketing for Consumer Products at COMPAQ.
