Highlight Features
PCI Express
The Chrome 27 employs a native PCI Express (PCIe) high speed serial link implementation. It supports 16x, 8x, 4x, and 1x lane configurations.
DirectX 9.0c Shader Model 2.0 Support
The Chrome 27�s hardware support for Microsoft�s DirectX 9.0c Vertex and Pixel Shaders version 2.0 allows the latest games to leverage shaders as they create stunning visual effects using subtle texture blends along with complex lighting and material effects for a great gaming experience.
HDTV Hi-Def Experience
The integrated HDTV Hi-Def encoder technology supports all 18 DTV ATSC and DVB standards, including 1080p. In HDTV Hi-Def mode, the Chrome 27 brings the theater experience into the home for all your PC media. Video games explode to life before your eyes in vivid detail and Hi-Def corporate presentations will set new standards.
Chromotion 3.0 Programmable Video Engine
The advanced Chromotion 3.0 programmable video engine is fully compatible with Microsoft DirectX-VA media acceleration. Its powerful programmable video effects can be applied to almost all video codecs, including Windows Media Video 9-HD (WMV9-HD) and MPEG-2 HD. Post-processing filters enhance video from poor, low bit rate source materials. Real-time rendering capabilities bring video effect processing to mainstream home video enthusiasts, who can now exercise as much ArtisticLicense as advanced video artists.
Flexible Memory Architecture
The flexible memory architecture allows support for modern GDDR technologies (GDDR2/GDDR1 up to 500MHz and GDDR3 up to 700MHz) in configurations of 256-32MB (GDDR3/GDDR1) and 512-64MB (GDDR2) in 128-32bit interfaces.
Advanced 90nm Manufacturing Process
Manufactured using world leading 90nm technology from Fujitsu, the S3 Graphics Chrome S27 leverages high speed transistor technology to achieve leading performance per watt operation.
Advanced Display Technology
This advanced technology allows the capability of supporting all the leading edge display technologies; such as CRTs, single/dual DVI monitors in single/dual link mode with or without HDCP, or single/dual channel LVDS panels, TVs, and HDTVs in various combinations in independent DuoView or DuoRotate modes.
Advanced Mobile Compatibility
Advanced technologies for mobile implementations make the Chrome XM20 Series especially suited to the mobile environment. ULP (Ultra Low Power) configurations enable specific low power management modes. Dynamic clock gating allows additional power saving capabilities. S3 Graphics� LCD PanelSharp� Expansion ensures smooth scaling on LCD panels.
MultiChrome Technology
It is an open-platform and cable free multi-GPU acceleration technology. MultiChrome will enable two Chrome S27 GPUs to operate in parallel to provide additional game acceleration on any motherboard with multiple physical x16 PCIe slots as it supports a dual x8 and dual x16 PCIe configurations.
