3D Graphics Cards for DCC Intro, Why Accelerate?, What to Look For, PCI vs. AGP Entry-Level, Low-Cost, High-Speed 3D Acceleration: Sub $300 Cards Mid-Range, High-Speed 3D Acceleration: Sub $1000 Cards High-End, Maximum 3D Acceleration: Cards Over $1,000 WHY ACCELERATE? A graphics
accelerator speeds up 2D and 3D graphics software and adds advanced graphics
capabilities to your system. It makes onscreen graphics and text appear
more quickly and accurately. A 3D graphics accelerator, specifically,
allows more realistic display of surface textures and volumetric shapes.
It lets you preview 3D graphics work more quickly without long rendering
times, and will increase the enjoyment of playing 3D games because of
the improved realism and faster speed. In fact, many of the best new games
now require a 3D accelerator. Because of this, the difference between
low-end consumer accelerators and entry level to mid-range professional
3D cards is rapidly decreasing. In fact, for all but the most intensive
3D animation work, it is possible to find a range of excellent 3D graphics
cards at anywhere from $200 to $1,000. |
