"Visual Wildcats" from 3DLabs. [06/25/2002 11:34 PM]

3Dlabs, Inc. Ltd, a division of Creative Technology Ltd. (see this news story) announced the launching of three professional graphics cards in the Wildcat family based on the new VPU (Visual Processing Unit aka P10) announced in early May.

To my great disappointment, the company again decided to keep silent about the detailed specifications of the cards having disclosed only some rates for "Vertices/Sec" and "AA Samples/Sec" parameters. That is why I will have to leave these "specs" for the professional graphics specialists and be happy with what they mentioned in the official press-release.
