The next question is what was ASUS 1st graphics card?
ASUS 3DExPlorer V3000 is the first one I can find that's Asus branded. It's a Riva 128 variant. They (Asus) claim that it added x-ray vision to 3D gaming.
Personally, I was using a Verge at the time, and jumped ship immediately to 3dfx when they became available in '97, and really don't recall much about the early days of Asus. Back then, it really wasn't considered 'safe' yet to deal with 'foreign' companies, many of which were doing a lot of copyright/patent rip-offs, and doing it in a very poor manner.
Very nice design.
This card would go lovely with Asus' gold and black mother boards. Someone should do a (really unique) gold/black build...maybe I should...yay, more ways to spend money!
I've got one of the asus black and gold motherboards....i have my eye on this now :/ where to buy?
The "x-ray" 3D was a driver that caused a lot of issues for quite a few years. There's some pretty infamous counterstrike video's where someone can clearly see through walls (single bullet headset through a wall that would take about half the map to get to the other side of).
3DFX were still way ahead until the riva tnt2 ultra then it was all about nvidia. ATI came a bit later to the 3D party (rather than using voodoo based pass through boards to provide 3D, kinda like physX which we'd all been using till then) and it started down the current paths to AMD/Nvidia.
how many times will repackage the same 980 and call it a 980 lol does it do 4k full settings no then its pointless and boring
Idiot edition. Its a depressing time to be an enthusiast but,but l33t gamerz PC masterz race with lights and bling and stuff.
