PaveGuy found this press release for a new high end video card based on the 9700, thought some of you might be interested...
--------------------------------------
ORLANDO, FLORIDA, December 2, 2002?Evans & Sutherland Computer Corporation (E&S®) (NASDAQ: ESCC) will demonstrate its newest PC-based image generator, simFUSION® 6000, at I/ITSEC 2002. Based on the award-winning ATI RadeonTM 9700 GPU, simFUSION 6000 delivers best-in-class performance as well as simulation features available for the first time at this price point.
Using the second-generation E&S simENGINETM graphics board, simFUSION 6000 is the first PC-IG to combine multiple ATI Radeon 9700 graphics chips on a single card. Key features include:
Exceptional fill rates enabled by a 256-bit wide unified memory interface and integrated multi-chip supertiling
Outstanding image quality as a result of best-in-class multisample antialiasing combined with 16x anisotropic texturing, floating-point graphics pipelines, and gamma-in/gamma-out
Full-speed, 16-bit monochrome mode for accurate sensor simulation
Three DVI-I outputs per chassis in the quad-chip configuration for cost-effective three-channel, low-end image generator applications
Multiple chassis solutions via dual-link DVI inputs and outputs for ultra-high-end applications
"With the introduction of simFUSION 6000, E&S offers the best PC-IG graphics acceleration technology backed by the most extensive visual simulation expertise in the industry," said Nick Gibbs, E&S Simulation Systems vice president and general manager. "Our close working relationship with ATI allows us to take advantage of all the advanced features of the Radeon 9700, while we add significant key discriminators for advanced simulation applications. Our first customer deliveries will occur in the first quarter of 2003."
About simFUSION 6000
simFUSION 6000 offers unbeatable PC-IG performance and image quality, with 2-to-24-sample full-scene antialiasing at screen resolutions up to 2048x1536 and fill rates up to 9.6Gpix/sec. OGL 1.3, D3D 9.0, and Linux compatible, simFUSION configurations include two or four ATI RADEON 9700 graphics chips, one or three DVI-I outputs, a DVI input, and Chanlock® channel synchronization. Genlock to internal or external video and 256MB of unified memory are standard in all configurations. The DVI input allows multiple chassis to be cascaded for higher performance or additional AA samples. Optional sensor postprocessor and distortion correction/edge blending cards are available.
