VX1 AGP graphics controller

Part Number SN-PBXGF-BC

The 3Dlabs Oxygen VX1 graphics accelerator module is a single expansion slot, 32-bit AGP bus graphics option that provides 2D graphics acceleration for Alpha workstations and servers running OpenVMS or Tru64 UNIX.

Overview

The VX1 AGP graphics controller offers productivity 2D graphics capability at an affordable price. The module is based on 3Dlabs' Glint R3 graphics chip and offers 24-bit true color resolutions up to 1600 x 1280 @70 Hz and up to 1280 x 1024 @85 Hz refresh rate.

Performance

The VX1 AGP graphics controller incorporates 32 MB of memory in a NLX/ATX AGP card. This product has shown an outstanding 2D performance of 35 Xmarks on an 833 MHZ CPU Alpha system with 4X AGP mode configuration.

Functionality and uses

The VX1 AGP module is a high-quality graphics controller for professionals requiring solid 2D features. Multi-head support in conjunction with the VX1 AGP is available on all AGP capable Alpha systems. A combination of one VX1 AGP and one or more VX1 PCI graphics controllers may reside in the same system. Only one PCI graphics controller may be used for the VGA console, and it must be placed on the primary PCI bus. The number of video cards supported varies depending on system type, with at least 4 cards on most systems. Please refer to Alpha system's QuickSpecs for details on the number of cards supported, minimum firmware requirements and configuration limitations. The VX1 AGP software can support applications in 16.7 million photo-realistic colors.

Quality and compatibility

Our enhancement products are designed and tested to rigorous specifications, including qualification requirements for suppliers, stringent performance specifications, and a thorough testing process to ensure consistent quality.

Service and support

The VX1 Graphics Controller carries the longer of either a one-year warranty or the remainder of the warranty period for the unit in which it is installed.

Around-the-clock support is offered by 7x24 technical support hotline, and on-line support forums are available on the Internet.
