Value delivers high quality and performance. Its dual texture architecture can process 2 pixels
or textures per clock cycle; this enables developers to create special effects such as multi-
layered textures, bump mapping to simulate rough surfaces, and environmental mapping that
gives objects reflective properties. Developers can take advantage of advanced filtering modes
(including trilinear mipmapping and anisotropic filtering) with full scene anti-aliasing to create
realistic images that rival more expensive graphics workstations.
