RADEON X800

The Radeon X800 graphics card from AMD offers a core clock speed of 390 MHz, and has 256 MB onboard memory, of type GDDR3 SDRAM. The device can be installed on any motherboard that has AGP 8x slots. It is also equipped with a Random Access Memory Digital-to-Analog Converter (abbreviated as RAMDAC) operating at 400 MHz, which allows it to support most color monitors. The card supports a wide range of display formats, including QXGA,UXGA, SXGA, XGA, VGA, and SVGA. It also supports both NTSC and PAL analog video formats. When it comes to rendering 3D graphics in games, the card is capable of handling both OpenGL 2.0 and DirectX 9 standard graphics, and offers a maximum resolution of 2048 x 1536 at 85 Hz.

Temporal anti-aliasing, a technology supported by the card, helps smoothen out jagged edges of 3D polygons rendered on screen when the user plays video games or watches HD videos. It does this by synchronizing the rate at which the polygons are sampled by the graphics card, with the refresh rate of the monitor. Furthermore, it ensures that the sampling rate of the entire scene is at least double the rate of sampling of the fastest moving object, which ensures that none of the objects are left to be rendered once the rest of the scene is visible to the user. This not only eliminates jagged edges, but also optimizes lighting of each object, ensuring smooth and clear graphics.
