Acer 5553, 553G manual Item NB Features

Item (NB Cont.)		Features
	• Support for GDI extensions:
	• In Windows XP and Windows Vista: Alpha BLT, Transparent BLT, and
		Gradient Fill.
	• In Windows 7: Alpha BLT, Transparent BLT, Color Fill BLT, Stretch
		BLT, and Clear Type BLT.
	• Hardware cursor (up to 64x64x32bpp), with alpha channel for direct
		support of Windows XP, Windows Vista andWindows 7 alpha cursor.
	•	3D Acceleration Features
	• Fully DirectX 10.1 compliant, including full speed 32-bit floating point
		per component operations
	• Shader Model 4.1 geometry and pixel support in a unified shader
		architecture:
	• Full speed 32-bit floating point processing per component.
	• High dynamic range rendering with floating point blending, texture
		filtering and anti-aliasing support.
	• High performance dynamic range computations
	• Full anti-aliasing on render surfaces up to and including 128-bit
		floating point formats.
	• Support for OpenGLR 2.0
	• Anti-Aliasing Filtering:
	•	2x/4x/8x modes.
	• Sparse multi-sample algorithm with gamma correction, programmable
		sample patterns, and centroid sampling.
	• Temporal anti-aliasing.
	• Adaptive anti-aliasing mode.
	• Lossless color compression (up to 8:1) at all resolutions, up to and
		including widescreen HDTV.
	•	Anisotropic Filtering:
	•	2x/4x/8x/16x modes
	• Up to 128-tap texture filtering.
	• Adaptive algorithm with performance (bi-linear) and quality (tri-linear)
		options.
	• Improved quality mode due to improved subpixel precision, higher
		precision LOD computations, and rotationally invariant LOD
		computations.
	• Advanced Texture Compression (3Dc+. ):
	• High quality 4:1 compression for normal maps and luminance maps.
	• Works with any single-channel or two-channel data format.
	• HW support to overcome "Small batch" issues in CPU limited
		applications.
	• 3D resources virtualized to a 32-bit addressing space, for support of
		large numbers of render targets and textures.
	• New vertex cache and vertex fetch design, to increase vertex
		throughput from previous generations.
	• Full support of 64-bit and 128-bit textures and surfaces, which can be
		4x to 8x faster than previous generation of HW.
	• Up to 8K x 8K textures, including 128 bpp texture are supported.
