The new PCI-Express based Volari 8300 graphics chipset is designed with XGI's flagship video processing technology, TrueVideo Engine, to satisfy the increasing demand of video processing power for home PCs.
“The Volari 8300 has raised the bar for what we called an entry

model 2.0 with 64 bit DRAM memory interface. XGI introduced a new
concept with Volari 8300, the eXtreme Cache, an advanced technology
that dynamically allocates system memory to support graphics
processing. With the additional bandwidth of PCI Express, eXtreme
Cache is able to reach higher levels of graphics performance and
effectively support up to 256MB of memory for graphics processing. This

HDTV content up to 1280x720p; inverse 3:2 Pull-down to convert movies
back to its original form and De-Interlacing, to remove the jaggy lines
in motion graphics. Furthermore, the CoolPower II low power consumption
design allows Volari 8300 to be built into a fan-less graphics
solution, making it the ideal solution for digital home entertainment.XGI
continues to co-operate with industry leading content providers for
better support on Games and Software Applications. This year, XGI has
worked closely with US game vendor and top online game vendors in Asia,
all in the efforts to ensure top game play quality and stability on
