investment protection as financial analysis application developers add 3D modeling to their
environment in FY98.
A low-cost / high-performance leader in this area is the ELSA GLoria Synergy. This controller
is based on the new Permedia-2 graphics engine from 3Dlabs. It provides the 2D performance of
a Matrox Millennium II while adding a robust 3D environment that rivals the performance of
previous GLINT Delta/TX boards, such as the GLoria-L. The GLoria Synergy is the perfect low-
cost solution for mainstream CAD, web authoring, pre-print, and 2D/3D animation applications
that don’t require greater than 1280x1024 resolution for true-color rendering.
ELSA GLoria Synergy Features
♦ Provides 2D windowing performance equivalent to the Matrox Millennium II
♦ A low-cost solution for professional 3D applications, such as AutoCAD, Microstation,
SolidWorks, and 3D Studio Max
♦ Supports a wide range of resolutions and color depths for flexibility and performance in a
variety of 3D graphics environments
♦ Supports up to 4 displays using multiple controllers (depending on slot availability)
♦ Uses 3Dlabs Permedia 2 processor for highly integrated 2D and robust 3D rendering
requirements
♦ Comes standard with 8MB of SGRAM
♦ Supports a wide range of resolutions (up to 1600 x 1280) and color depths for flexibility and
performance in a variety of 3D graphics environments
♦ Optimized graphics drivers for OpenGL and Heidi under Windows NT 4.0 and 3.51; display
list drivers for AutoCAD; Direct3D driver for Windows 95
