HP Compaq dx2300 Microtower Business PC

Technical Specifications - Graphics

Integrated Graphics

3D/2D Controller

Microsoft DirectX® 9 based with support for Pixel Shader 2.0, 4:1

Media Accelerator 3000

 

anisotropic filtering, Gaussian texture filtering, shadow maps, volumetric

 

 

textures, double-sided stencil buffers, and 4 pixel pipes.

 

VGA Controller

Integrated

 

 

Bus Type

PCI Express™ x16 (If an external graphics card is installed in a PCI slot, the

 

 

internal graphics can be enabled or disabled using the system's BIOS setup

 

 

utility. If an external graphics card is installed in the PCI Express™ slot, the

 

 

internal graphics cannot be enabled).

 

 

RAMDAC

Integrated, 400 MHz

 

 

Memory

Graphics memory is shared with system memory. Graphics memory usage

 

 

varies depending on the amount of system memory installed and system

 

 

load. 8 MB is pre-allocated for graphics use at system boot time. Additional

 

 

memory is allocated for graphics as needed using Intel's Dynamic Video

 

 

Memory Technology (DVMT), to provide an optimal balance between

 

 

graphics and system memory use.

 

 

 

System memory equal or greater than 512 MB

 

 

 

8 MB pre-allocated + 248 MB DVMT = max frame buffer of 256 MB

 

Controller Clock Speed

400 MHz

 

 

Overlay Planes

Single overlay support with 5x3 filtering

 

 

Maximum Colour Depth

32 bits/pixel

 

 

Maximum Vertical Refresh 85 Hz at up to 1920x1440, 85 Hz at 2048x1536. Varies with mode and

 

Rate

configuration. See table below.

 

 

Multi-display Support

Support for one CRT via the motherboard's VGA connector. Support for an

 

 

additional DVI-D display via the optional DVI ADD2 card. Dual independent

 

 

displays and dual synchronous (Twin or Clone mode) displays are supported.

 

Graphics/Video API

Microsoft DirectX®9, DirectXVA®, VMR9, GDI/GDI+; OpenGL® 1.4.

1Modes listed are supported with a single active display. The supported mode list for multiple active displays is a subset of this list. Not all modes will support video playback and some supported modes may use software MC (motion compensation) rather than hardware MC. Not all modes will support 3D acceleration depending on the system configuration (e.g., resolution selected, size of frame buffer, number of installed memory modules, etc.).

NOTE: Other resolutions and refresh rates may be selectable but are not recommended.
