Key Benefits
  • 3D and Depth texture mapping for volume visualization and real time shadows.
  • Texture maps up to 16384 × 16384 in size.
  • A hardware-accelerated accumulation buffer for full scene antialiasing and motion blur effects.
  • Parallel visibility testing of bounding boxes for fast occlusion culling.
  • Support for multiple display syncs for "cave" and "cove" displays.
  • Up to 128MB of fully configurable shared framebuffer/texture memory (FX10). The flexible shared
  • memory design allows the user to balance texture map storage requirements with pixel depth and desktop size.
  • Identical software interfaces and device drivers for both the FX5 and FX10 to reduce ISV certification expenses.
  • Designed with the entire computer system in mind to maximize high-end 3D application performance.
HP set the standard for Windows® NT® and UNIX® 3D graphics performance and functionality with the introduction of the VISUALIZE FX family in 1997. The subsequent introduction of newer members of the VISUALIZE fx+ family provided further gains in performance at a wide range of price points.
Now, HP continues to evolve its VISUALIZE family of graphics adapters with the introduction of the VISUALIZE FX5 and VISUALIZE FX10 graphics adapter products. The FX5 and FX10 feature industry leading application performance, with a feature set typically found on much more expensive high-end graphics workstations. The hardware is designed for HP-UX, Windows NT, providing full support for OpenGL 1.1, GDI, DirectDraw, and Direct3D.

Compatibility
The VISUALIZE FXE is compatible with HP Workstations b2600, c3700, c3750, j6700 and j6750. The VISUALIZE FX5 Pro is compatible with HP Workstations b2600, c3700, and c3750. The VISUALIZE FX10 Pro is compatible with HP Workstations c3700, c3750, j6700, and j6750.
