3Dlabs Meets Continued Demand for Professional PCI Graphics Solutions; 3Dlabs Continues to Promote Oxygen VX1 PCI; Reintroduces Popular Oxygen GVX1 PCI.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 6, 2001 3Dlabs(R), Inc. Ltd. (Nasdaq:TDDD TDDD Test-Driven Database Design (software development) ) today announced that it is expanding its support of PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). graphics solutions by resuming production of its high-performance Oxygen(TM) GVX1 PCI graphics accelerator and continuing to promote its popular Oxygen VX1 PCI graphics card. 3Dlabs' continuing support for PCI graphics enables professionals to take full advantage of workstation-level graphics capabilities in legacy PCI systems, systems with integrated graphics or non-upgradeable AGP slots. In addition, Oxygen PCI graphics cards allow multi-monitor operation in systems that currently utilize the AGP slot for other purposes. The Oxygen VX1 PCI and Oxygen GVX1 PCI are widely certified by popular graphics software applications, and offer a choice of PCI graphics for a variety of professional requirements, from entry-level 2D/3D business graphics to geometry-intensive CAD and digital content creation The development of newsworthy, educational and entertainment material for distribution over the Internet or other electronic media. See DAMS. (DCC) applications. "By staying keenly attuned at·tune tr.v. at·tuned, at·tun·ing, at·tunes 1. To bring into a harmonious or responsive relationship: an industry that is not attuned to market demands. 2. to the needs of our channel partners, 3Dlabs has responded to the needs of its customers, many of whom have found no other offering for professional graphics on the PCI architecture," said Raj Singh, executive vice president and general manager of 3Dlabs. "While others in the industry have shifted their focus almost exclusively to AGP, our close contact with the channel has enabled us to continue offering PCI-based graphics solutions for all segments of the professional market." About Oxygen PCI Graphics 3Dlabs' Oxygen VX1 PCI and Oxygen GVX1 PCI graphics cards target adjacent segments of the market to fulfill a broad range of professional requirements, from 2D/3D business graphics to the most demanding CAD or digital content creation (DCC) applications. -- Oxygen VX1 PCI: Extremely popular in the channel, the Oxygen VX1 PCI is an all-purpose 2D/3D card that delivers best-of-class performance for entry-level to mid-range applications. The cost-effective Oxygen VX1 PCI offers full OpenGL support and innovative technologies such as Virtual Textures that transcend the limitations of onboard memory. -- Oxygen GVX1 PCI: The GVX1 PCI is the highest-performing PCI graphics card on the market, offering the same advanced graphics technology as its AGP-based counterpart. With onboard hardware geometry acceleration, the GVX1 is the card of choice for geometry-intensive programs. In addition, users can augment their existing AGP graphics with up to three accompanying Oxygen GVX1 PCI cards, for a total of up to four fully-accelerated 3D displays using Windows NT.
