AOpen, a manufacturer of high-performance, high-quality graphics cards and computer peripherals, has officially announced the Aeolus 6800XTReme-DV128 AGP, an advanced 3D display card based on NVIDIA’s GeForce 6 Series AGP 8X interface graphics chip, which offers the best price/performance ratio. The card offers full support for Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0 and Shader Model 3.0 under NVIDIA CineFX4.0 Engine hardware structure.

The Aeolus 6800XTReme-DV128 AGP 8X comes with 128MB of dedicated 256-bit DDR memory. To take full advantage of NVIDIA’s latest and greatest graphics chip, the new card supports the AGP expansion bus for superior throughput. Its GPU core clock is 325MHz and memory clock is 600MHz. This high-end AGP card can support memory bandwidth up to 22.4GB/s, delivering fluent frame rates for cinematic special effects. With the biggest size fan used on AOpen cards, the 6800XTReme-DV128 provides high performance while staying silent and cool.

Use the 6800XTReme-DV128 to upgrade your AGP PC platform with faster data transfer rates than possible with cards of the older AGP generation. They can increase the responsiveness of the PC’s display subsystem, allowing even the most complex AV content to play smoothly, adding to the enjoyment of DVD movies and other multimedia entertainment. Another feature of the AOpen Aeolus 6800XTReme-DV128 AGP is its advanced support for MPEG-2 decoding, recording and converting analog video into defined high-definition television format. Its MPEG2 video encode and decode delivers a stunning video experience, and WMV9 decode acceleration provides unmatched performance for Microsoft Windows Media Center Edition. In this case, the GPU could significantly offload the CPU for better system performance.
