New 3D Graphics Card Features in 2006

Posted by Zonk on from the love-the-shiny dept.

Ant writes "This Tom's Hardware article says that in the latest generation of graphics cards, PixelShader has become mainstream. Version 3 features 3D effects like HDR rendering for bright light sources, and parallax mapping for even more vivid features in walls and stones. The brand-new ATI Radeon X1000 series and the NVIDIA GeForce 6 and 7 master these improved graphics features. It looks at today's newest computer games (e.g., F.E.A.R.) and compare the 3D effects."

    To me the media features in the silicon is what's getting cooler and cooler.

    It's actually the 5 lb copper heat sink that makes it cooler and cooler.
