Welcome to new arrivals in world graphic card that is Talon Graphic Corporation. NVIDIA, ATI, SiS, Matrox and VIA/S3 will get new enemy of which able to be spelled out members tough. Ryan Warner which is founder Talon Graphic which also at the same time as designer chipset and the board telling that first product of they is Apocalypse.
Sees specification unfold by Ryan Warner is hardly impressing. And problem faced by the existing them is design board/PCBs remembers them has not owned partner at all. Problem owned by this chipset is temperature and number of chipset/processor attached counted 4 fruit. (Voodoo 5 5500 having 2 chipset).
Problem that is making measure graphic this very big card and people say there are two heatsink, one side to be upper and one side under.
Frequency chipset Apocalypse according to Ryan Warner 2 times more from geforce4 Ti. Apocalyse also applies Anti Aliasing 16x so-called with term Selestec AA. Also Anisotropic Filtering with 128-tap.
Graphic this card also is complete with Hardware T&L (Transform & Lighting) and because they are weight devotee 3dfx hence Apocalypse equiped with 3dfx T-Buffer (TG-BUFFER). If Geforce (2MX, 4MX, 4Ti) only supports is dual monitor / nView and Matrox Parhelia supports surround-gaming Multi monitor (3 monitor), hence Apocalypse is not half the battle will support 5 monitor at the same time.
There is 4 type Apocalypse. First is Apocalypse 500 using 1 chipset with support from Anti-Aliasing 8x and memory equal to 128MB which its(the measure its(the board around like Radeon8500. Secondly is Apocalypse 1000 using 2 chipset with support from Anti-Aliasing 12x and memory 256MB which the board measure around measure Geforce4 Ti. And which the final is Apocalypse 1500 using 4 chipset so that the board measure is also becomes is bigger even bigger than Voodoo5 5500 (you have ever seen measure Voodoo 5 isn't it). With supported from Anti-Aliasing 16x and memory equal to 512MB.
This is be explain in specification:
Apocalypse 1500 - 4 chip SLI 512MB RAM (16x A-A)
Apocalypse 1000 - 2 chip SLI 256MB RAM (12x A-A)
Apocalypse 500 - 1 chip 128MB RAM (8x A-A)
When graphic this card launched? Ryan Warner hoped at longest 1 year again or could probably quicker. Some of specifications unfold very extraordinary for me, don't know with you. What? Are you interests? Starts saves from now. This is sample from Ryan Warner:
Chip design is nearly complete, and board design is indium full swing. I will is finishing the chip design this month (hopefull), and helping Josh finish the board design over the next 3 or 4 months. Than, it is on to silicon. Produce the drivers, and put the card into production. We're working hard on this project. I do want to stress that no other video card will is designed like this one, and look like this one.
We are hoping to design ready for production indium one year, or less.
There's only fortunate one of issue that needs to is taken care of. That is getting the rights to use SLI from nVIDIA. Otherwise, we'll run into lawsuits, and so on. We want SLI because we believe that it is very effective, and our plan on how to use the technology will seriously increase the performance of the chipset. The SLI technique we're going to use can avoid buying a patent from nVIDIA. That is note going to is a problem either. Our implementation, we believe, will increase performance on older, current, and future programs.
