„At first it would seem like the ATi Radeon X800 XL does not support core temperature monitoring since it’s not available in the drivers, but actually you can read the core temps if you use the right program. RivaTuner allows you to monitor the X800 XL VPU’s temperature which is a very handy feature.”

” Should you want to use something else to cool this videocard, the two mounting holes around the X800 XL VPU are standard size. That means you can install any of the various GPU/VPU coolers on the market.”

VPU lesz az, minden ATi kártyánál VPU az, ami az nVidiánál GPU..

Ha megnézed a guglival, az is minden találatában VPU-t ír.

A win-es ATi Catalyst driverben is VPU Recovery unit van, ami a VPU-t alaphelyzetbe állítja, ha baj van.

VPU = Visual Processing Unit

„For 3DLabs, the term GPU has too negative of a connotation to use for their next-generation part. Current GPUs aren’t flexible enough and thus when 3DLabs wanted to put a name to the face of their technology they came up with the term – Visual Processing Unit (VPU). The abbreviation is similar enough to CPU to properly convey its message while it’s also different enough from GPU to signify a radically different approach to solving the problem.

The codename of 3DLabs’ new part is called the P10; it’s the first incarnation of what 3DLabs calls their Visual Processing architecture and its surely not going to be the last. However what makes the P10 VPU so different from the GeForce4’s NV25 or the Radeon 8500’s R200 isn’t its pipeline; the same stages in the 3D pipeline still exist, it’s what happens at each one of those stages that 3DLabs has set out to change.”
