applications. Its main features are:

• VIDEO IMMERSION™ which provides industry-

leading DVD playback and digital TV decode

capability

• Hyper Z™ technology, which reduces memory

bandwidth consumption, resulting in improved 3D

performance

• PIXEL TAPESTRY™ which can apply 3 textures

at once to a complex 3D gaming scene

• 64MB double data rate (DDR) memory, PCI and

AGP versions

• 32MB double data rate (DDR) memory, PCI and

The RADEON™ 7200 is available as AGP only.

ATI’s Catalyst Software Suite

3D Gaming Experience

ATI’s Catalyst™ Software Suite activates the

advanced graphic features, such as PIXEL

TAPESTRY™, for advanced 3D gaming capability.

For help on installing the Catalyst™ Software Suite,

refer to the Getting Started Guide.

The Catalyst™ Software Suite installs the ATI

display tabs. These tabs are accessed through the

Windows®Display Control Panel, through the

Advanced... button located on the Settings tab. For a

detailed explanation of each ATI tab, refer to

Catalyst™ Software Suite on page 6.

Direct 3D®and OpenGL®

The Catalyst™ Software Suite also supports the

latest versions of Direct 3D®and OpenGL®. Many

new 3D game titles, and the latest versions of older

titles, will virtually come to life as they utilize their

advanced Direct 3D®or OpenGL® features. Gamers

can tweak their settings for the ultimate experience in

3D image quality or 3D gaming performance.

ATI’s Direct 3D®and OpenGL® tabs are available

through the Windows®Display Control Panel,

through the Advanced... button located on the

Settings tab.

For a detailed explanation of the Direct 3D®and

OpenGL®tabs, refer to Direct 3D® Control Panel

on page 19, and OpenGL® Control Panel on

page 24.

With an additional ATI graphics card installed in

your system, you can also use HydraVision™ for

advanced multi-monitor management. For more

information on HydraVision™, please refer to the

HydraVision™ User’s Guide PDF located on your

ATI Installation CD.

The RADEON™ 7200 provides an IBM standard

analog VGA connector.

The RADEON™ 7000 64MB PCI, 32MB PCI and

32MB AGP versions also provide an IBM standard

analog VGA connector.

The RADEON™ 7000 64MB AGP version provides

an IBM standard analog VGA connector and an

S-Video Out connector.

For information on how to use the S-Video Out
