3DLABS GRAPHIC ACCELERATORS RECEIVE CERTIFICATION.

3Dlabs' Wildcat Realizm 100 and 200 graphics accelerators have been certified by Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) in the Computer-aided Design (CAD) and Digital Content & Creation (DCC) markets. Leading software partners including Alias, Autodesk, PTC, Softimage and SolidWorks have certified both the Wildcat Realizm 100 and 200 graphics accelerators. 3Dlabs is a wholly owned subsidiary of Creative Technology Ltd. (NASDAQ:CREAF).

"The per pixel precision, raw performance and up to 512 MB of onboard graphics memory that Wildcat Realizm products provide is far superior to other professional graphics accelerators," said Hock Leow, president of 3Dlabs. "After certifying these two powerful cards, our software partners were amazed that we can offer this high-level of performance at these unbeatable prices. We continuously hear from our software partners that our Wildcat Realizm 100 and 200 graphics accelerators can handle larger models and render faster than other competitive cards."

Widespread ISV Support for Wildcat Realizm

Industry leading ISVs in the DCC and CAD markets have certified the powerful Wildcat Realizm 100 and 200 professional graphics accelerators. "When pixel accuracy and finite detail matter most, Autodesk Inventor Series 9 users running a Wildcat Realizm 100 graphics accelerator will enjoy a more productive work environment when designing components," said Richard Runnells, manager, Partner Programs at Autodesk Manufacturing Solutions Division.

"With a system powered by a Wildcat Realizm 100 or 200, PTC Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire customers have an ideal solution to accomplish even the most complex CAD project at a great price," said Michael Campbell, vice president of product management at PTC.

"3Dlabs' Wildcat products never cease to amaze us," said Antony Hervo, solution partner manager at SolidWorks Corporation. "The Wildcat Realizm 100 and 200 are better than their powerful predecessors. 3Dlabs has again delivered a solid and fast professional workstation graphics solution that provides SolidWorks 2004 and SolidWorks 2005 customers with the true means to real-world productivity."

"3Dlabs and Softimage deliver great value, a superior workflow environment and outstanding performance, helping today's 3D artists do more for less," said Gareth Morgan, senior product manager at Softimage Co., a subsidiary of Avid Technology, Inc. "And now SOFTIMAGE|XSI artists can experience smooth interaction and exceptional productivity with the Wildcat Realizm 100 graphics accelerator at an incredible price."
