First Open Graphics Graphics Card Appears

Sunday, January 07, 2007

JOSEPH BLACK AND his team of graphics enthusiasts have been working for quite some time on a pretty encouraging project - an open-spec graphics card.

This project is on the basis that a GPU should not end up with tons of propriatary software or hardware, containing hidden problems that aren't mentioned to the press, and yet cause nervous breakdowns for developers worldwide.
This project looks quite promising. Codenamed OGD1-256DDAV, the card comes with 256MB of video memory, two dual-link DVI connectors and a support for the third and fourth video interface (analogue/ TV video outputs). Currently, the card comes in a PCI interface, with 2 chips making up the GPU: the Xilinx Spartan-3 XC3S4000 FPGA graphics engine, and the Lattice XP10 FPGA. Read more @ The Inquirer. For more information, visit the Project's TikiWiki: OGPN17. Digg this.
