Flipper GPU Notes
| Floating Point Operations: 8 GFLOPS TEV "Texture EnVironment" engine (similar to Nvidia's GeForce-class "register combiners") Fixed-function hardware transform and lighting (T&L), 20+ million polygons in-game 648 megapixels/second (162 MHz × 4 pipelines) 648 megatexels/second (648 MP × 1 texture unit) (peak) Peak triangle performance: 20,250,000 32-pixel triangles/s raw and with 1 texture and lighting or 337,500 triangles a frame at 60 fps 8 texture layers per pass, texture compression, full scene anti-aliasing 8 simultaneous hardware light sources up to 32 software light sources Bilinear, trilinear, and anisotropic texture filtering Multi-texturing, bump mapping, reflection mapping, 24-bit z-buffer 24-bit RGB/32-bit RGBA color depth Hardware limitations sometimes require a 6r+6g+6b+6a mode (18-bit color), resulting in color banding. |
