Wildcat VP uses 3Dlabs ground-breaking Visual Processing Architecture to integrate over 200 32-bit processors into a single Visual Processing Unit (VPU) for industry leading processing capacity and programmable power. Wildcat VP power and flexibility provide industrial-strength 2D and 3D performance, quality and functionality for OpenGL® and Direct3D® applications.

Genuine programmability throughout the entire Wildcat VP pipeline provides a superset of traditional graphics processor functionality and is a step towards interactive Renderman-class rendering. Wildcat VP supports the emerging OpenGL 2.0 and Microsoft's HLSL high-level shading languages that extend the boundaries of interactive visual realism.

Wildcat VP innovative fast task-switching capability provides the power of multiple dedicated graphics engines. Designers can move seamlessly among numerous graphics windows for a highly productive workflow, using multiple virtual VPUs.

The highly innovative 16GB virtual memory of Wildcat VP shatters the limitation of on-board memory by automatically handling huge datasets, while caching essential data for fastest access. The industry first genuine 256-bit DDR memory interface delivers incredible bandwidth to keep the most demanding applications running smoothly.

Wildcat VP drives two independent, high-resolution displays with a mix of analog and digital display options. Dual 10-bit DACs provide flawless color representation by eliminating distracting display artifacts.

3Dlabs is the only PC graphics company solely focused on designing professional-grade accelerators. Wildcat VP continues this tradition through relentless driver reliability testing and constant optimization and certification of leading professional applications.
