Radeon 7500 PCI graphics controller

Model: 3X-PBXGG-AA
QL-6ZRA9-AA Tru64 UNIX 3D Software License
QL-0ADA9-AA OpenVMS 3D Software License

The ATIR RADEON™ 7500 PCI graphics accelerator module is a single expansion slot, 32-bit PCI bus graphics option that provides 2D and 3D (requires 3D license) graphics acceleration for Alpha workstations and servers running OpenVMS or Tru64 UNIX. The drivers are developed and supported by the Hewlett Packard Company.

Overview

The RADEON 7500 PCI graphics controller offers superior 2D and affordable 3D graphics capability. The module is based on ATI’s RV200 graphics chip. The card is capable of 24-bit true color resolution at 2048 X 1536. The Tru64 UNIX and OpenVMS drivers support a wide range of resolutions and refresh rates up to 2048 X 1536@75Hz.


Performance

The RADEON 7500 PCI graphics controller incorporates 64 MB of memory in a single short ATX form factor PCI card. This product has shown an outstanding 2D performance of 70+ Xmarks (in 8 bit per pixel mode) on a 1.0GHz CPU Alpha system.

Functionality and uses

The RADEON 7500 PCI module is a high-quality graphics controller for professionals requiring solid 2D and mid-range 3D visualization features. Dual head (one card, 2 independent displays) on the first card, and 2D multi-card support is available on Alpha systems* and the number of video cards supported varies depending on system type. Please refer to Alpha system QuickSpecs for details on the number of cards (PCI and AGP) supported and configuration limitations. The HP RADEON 7500 PCI Tru64 and OpenVMS software can support applications in 16.7 million photo-realistic colors.

*Initially with Tru64 driver only.
