STB's new POWERGRAPH 64 3D represents a quantum leap in graphics acceleration technology. For the first time, Windows 95 games come alive in three-dimensional display. New Windows 95 Direct3D-based applications like 3D Web browsers, 3D presentation arts and modeling packages may also be transformed from the ordinary to the extraordinary by the Powergraph 64 3D's combination of shading, perspective-corrected texture mapping and double buffering features. The Powergraph 64 3D supports Microsoft's Game SDK software for 2D primitives (DirectDraw), 3D primitives (Direct3D), live video and MPEG scaling (DirectVideo).
