Intel® Extreme Graphics

Intel® Extreme Graphics and its successor graphics architecture, Intel® Extreme Graphics 2, are integrated graphics technologies that deliver 3D graphics with sharp images, fast rendering, smooth motion and extreme detail.

Intel Extreme Graphics is integrated in the Intel® 845G, 845GE, 845GL and 845GV chipsets.

Intel Extreme Graphics supports the latest 2D and 3D APIs, delivering real-life environment and character effects. A 256-bit internal path enables up to four textures per pixel on a single pass for super light maps, atmospheric effects, and more realistic surface details. Flexible display capabilities enhance the personal computing experience, offering significant benefits for applications requiring 32 bpp and higher display resolution.
