INTRODUCING THE FIRE GL2 ♦ ABOUTYOUR FIRE GL2 ♦ HOW TO USE THIS USER'S GUIDE ♦ QUICK INSTALLATION ABOUT YOUR FIRE GL2 Hardware Design The Fire GL2 is an AGP/ATX card based upon the IBM RC 1000/ GT 1000 chipset. The RC1000 256 bit graphics rasterizer provides the functionality of a VGA controller, a 2D/3D raster engine with geometry pipeline setup processor, and a 300 MHz RAMDAC. It also supports video streaming by providing color space conversion and a bilinear scaling unit. The GT1000 hardware geometry engine is a complete tranformation and lighting engine with hardware implementation of the full open OpenGL pipeline and most of the Direct3D geometry pipeline.

Hardware Design
The Fire GL2 is an AGP/ATX card based upon the IBM RC 1000/
GT 1000 chipset.
The RC1000 256 bit graphics rasterizer provides the functionality of a
VGA controller, a 2D/3D raster engine with geometry pipeline setup
processor, and a 300 MHz RAMDAC. It also supports video streaming
by providing color space conversion and a bilinear scaling unit.
The GT1000 hardware geometry engine is a complete tranformation and
lighting engine with hardware implementation of the full open OpenGL
pipeline and most of the Direct3D geometry pipeline.
