Anyone knows if what Z-buffer Parhelia has

[CaineTanathos]

Just wondering , because I couldn't find what z-buffer it will support
I just read an article about the new 3dlabs card and this one supports a 32bit zbuffer.

Because of the Parhelia's memory bandwidth, render cahces and advanced memory controllers, the Parhelia does not use a traditional z-buffer. We had a thread like this going here:

I meant the amount of bits.

GF3 and GF4 supports 16Bit and 24Bit Z-buffer
THe new 3dlabs card also supports 32Bit z-buffer

was just wondering about the parhelia

but thx
whoot my 5th post here

well i would guess it features the following combinations:

16bit z
24bit z +8bit stencil
32bit z

thats what the old G400 can do, so i think the parhelia can do the same, it is only a guess though.

but would that mean that faa forces a 24bit z-buffer...
