FEATURES- FireGL X3-256- Retail Package
       The turbo-charged FireGL X3-256 is our highest performance 
        workstation graphics accelerator designed for AGP-based 
        workstations. Delivering the fastest 3D performance and superior 
        quality graphics for professional applications, this powerful card 
        is based on ATIs stunning graphics architecture with six parallel 
        geometry engines and sixteen parallel rendering pipelines. The 
        FireGL X3-256 takes the leading computer-aided design (CAD) and 
        digital content creation (DCC) applications to a new level of 
        interactivity. 
       With 256MB of GDDR3 memory and hardware accelerated rendering using 
        OpenGL Shading Language and DirectX 9 HLSL, the FireGL X3-256 
        empowers 3D professionals to realize a dramatic increase in 
        productivity and a reduction in design cycle times, without 
        sacrificing quality. All FireGL boards are certified for the 
        leading OpenGL and DirectX applications, with full support under 
        Windows and Linux environments. 
       All advanced graphics features are available across the entire 
        FireGL product line from mobile workstations through high-end 
        systems, and are enabled with a single graphics driver, simplifying 
        system administration within the production environment.
