Bitboys - grafické karty

[Oblak]

Bitboys..........mnoho řečí a smůla.....co víte o bitboys???testoval někdo jejich kartu???Údajně jich pár vyrobili ale nikdo o ně nemá zájem

[Lisp]

Bitboys jsou stejně jako PowerVR firma, která navrhuje jádra grafických chipů a licencuje případně jejich patenty třetím stranám.
Nějaké samply chipů a karet samozřejmě jsou, ale jen pro Bitboys. Komerčně je nikdy nevydaly

Ja mam napad vyrobime si jejich grafiku z tranzistoru treba se dostanem na 1MHz gdyz budeme mit stesti

myslím že výsledek by dopadl stejně jako u BitBoys

[Dr Meduza]

No gdyby to melo stejny zapojeni tak by to chodilo stejne jako ta grafika akort by se asi muselo udelat par uprav v propojeni s pameti a agp ale to by se resit dalo a pak by to jelo akorat trochu pomalejc zalezi na tom jak by se to udelalo maly preba ze SMD tranzistoru by se to dalo udelat dost maly a nebo pak zbejvaj este programovatelny integrace ale to by stao desny prachy

Bit Boys muzou udelat prototyp.

FPGA je dost velka, a nebo muzete rozdelit design na vic cipu. Rampage byla prototypovana na takovym systemu.

Giga Pixel taky prototypovaly GP1, a potom prodaly ten design do 3DFX.

VirtexII PRO ma PCI Xpress core a DDR pamnet. DDR je jenom 200MHz (400mb/s), ale to by stacilo.

Co ja si vzpominam, tak Bitboys uz meli ultramaga grafiku co strci vsechny ostatni do kapsy na papire nekdy v dobe Voodoo 1-2

To J. drak

jojo v roce 95 měli grafarnu s podporou veci jako např. Motion Blur, čili na svou dobu věci nevídané(stejně jako úžasná byla voodoo1 v době návrhu) ale měla příliš mnoho chyb...

Zdravim Jindro,

sice to nepatri k tematu,ale netusis kam se podely ty GP1 prototypy?

Nejake foto Bitboys karet Pyramid 3D:



Back in 1995, or was it 1996, a small Finnish company by the name of Bitboys Oy announced their Pyramid3D chip. As the months rolled by there emerged successive technology reports that detailed such things as a geometry engine (transform and lighting) and projected speeds well in excess of the first Voodoo card from 3Dfx. What was never seen however was the actual product itself. Were BitBoys for real, or was it all a hoax? As I understand it, BitBoys approached a company by the name of VLSI Solutions with a chip design that later turned out to be written on the back of an envelope. TriTech Microelectronics then purchased that envelope with the intention to design the chip themselves. VLSI would then fabricate the board and another company program the drivers. Eventually some pre-production models were produced and demonstrated at Assembly '97, but just before the cards went into mass production in 1998 Tritech pulled out of the project killing it stone dead.

So it would seem that the Pyramid3D project did eventually become legitimate, even if Bitboys never were. The following left-hand image is purported to be a pre-production version of the card, but the right-hand image has been sent in by Mark Vojkovich who actually owns one today. It has 8MB of SDRAM and a pass-though connection similar to that found on a Voodoo board.

In May 1998 BitBoys Oy raised their heads once again and announced their Glaze3D chip. This chip would have a projected performance four times greater than that of the current all-conquering Voodoo2 chipset! At the time this statement caused a considerable stir, especially considering the fiasco surrounding their previous attempt. However once everyone realized that the chip would not be produced for over a year, this interest soon dissipated.

A Axe:


September 2002 began with our old friends the Bitboys... hurrah! On the 4th they announced their new Axe technology (codenamed Avalanche), which built on their previous XBA technology. Axe is a DirectX8 product with MatrixAA antialiasing, four rendering pipelines each with two texture units, four vertex shader units, 12 million transistors and embedded OD RAM. Will we ever see this one come to market? Well they do have some product photos up on their site, so you never know. I really shouldn't be too cynical about Bitboy technology, because even if it never appears, it won't be the only one in 2002.

Hmmm moc pěkný článek, doporučuji
