Abstract

Today's 3D graphics hardware is becoming increasingly more powerful. This talk will start with an overview of current ATI hardware architecture and the features used in creating the Radeon 9700 and 9800 demos. The majority of the talk will focus on breaking down a few of these demos in some detail and highlighting the more interesting shader techniques.
