Featuring a new super-pipelined 128-bit engine, TwisterT utilizes a single cycle architecture
that provides high performance along with superior image quality. Several new features
enhance the 3D architecture, including single-pass multitexturing, anisotropic filtering, and
an 8-bit stencil buffer. TwisterT also offers the industry＇s only simultaneous usage of
single-pass multitexturing and single-cycle trilinear filtering – enabling stunning image
quality without performance loss. TwisterT further enhances image quality with true 32-bit
color rendering throughout the 3D pipeline to produce more vivid and realistic images.
TwisterT＇s advanced triangle setup engine provides industry leading 3D performance for
a realistic user experience in games and other interactive 3D applications. The 3D engine is
optimized for AGP texturing from system memory.
