Features and Benefits

Highly-Optimized, Multi-Threaded PowerThreads OpenGL Drivers
3Dlabs new-generation PowerThreads OpenGL drivers are fully optimized for Intel Pentium III and AMD® Athlon processors to maximize geometry throughput. The multi-threaded architecture of PowerThreads unleashes the power of your current single or multiple CPU system, scaling geometry performance as more CPU processing power is added.

Virtual Textures
An industry first that lets you manipulate up to 256MB of textures in a single scene, shattering the limitations of on-board graphics memory. Oxygen VX1-16 implements a full demand-paged virtual texture sub-system in hardware, using on-board graphics memory to cache huge textures stored in main system memory.

Legendary, Workstation-Class 3Dlabs Drivers
16 years of 3Dlabs' OpenGL experience provides you with quality you can trust - backed by the industry's most extensive application compatibility testing program.

Sophisticated Rendering Pipeline
The GLINT R3 graphics processor accelerates 100% of OpenGL 1.2 and DirectX 7.0 primitives, including filtered volumetric rendering, advanced bump-mapping with per pixel lighting and multiple textures in a single pass.

Fully Accelerated Windows 98 and Direct3D Drivers
Oxygen VX1-16 ships with 100% natively accelerated drivers for Windows 98 with OpenGL and Direct3D support to give you the flexibility to run all the latest leading professional applications.

Advanced Software and Control Panel
3Dlabs' advanced point-and-click control panel allows you to effortlessly optimize your system for your applications.
