TurboCache technology is a patented hardware and software technology that
enables direct rendering to system memory, reducing the local frame buffer
requirements to deliver graphics and system performance that exceeds traditional
discrete graphics solutions. For example, instead of having 256MB of local memory,
TurboCache delivers effective 256MB memory using only 64MB of local memory.
Board with 16MB or 32MB local memory can deliver 128MB of effective memory.
