optional cable from Matrox which connects to the second VGA port in
place of a monitor
• Full AGP 2X/AGP 4X support (up to 1GB/sec bandwidth)
• 360 MHz main RAMDAC and 230MHz secondary RAMDAC
• Support for all VESA standards:
— VBE 2.0 (Super VGA modes)
— DPMS energy saving
— DDC2B support for Plug and Play (PnP) detection of monitor
• Support for true 32-bit color (16.7 million colors) at resolutions up to
2048 x 1536 on the main display
• Support for monitors with 16/10 aspect ratio, at resolutions up to
1920 x 1200 on the main display
3D Features
• VCQ2 or Vibrant Color Quality2
• Supports 32-bit Z buffering for exceptional rendering precision
• Environment-mapped bump mapping for more realistic 3D images
• Stencil buffering
• Bilinear, trilinear, and anisotropic filtering
• Single, double, and triple buffering
• Texture mapping
• MIP mapping
• Gouraud shading
• Alpha blending, anti-aliasing, fogging, specular highlighting
NOTE If you use only one monitor, you must use Port 1. If you connect a second
monitor, the driver detects it during startup. This means that you must
connect both monitors to the graphics card before startup.
