Artist Graphics
Artist GPX
Developed as a PC CAD chipset, the GPX incorporates specific CAD features such as scaling,
display list processing and panning. 2D acceleration is also included with hardware support for
BitBlt, scrolling, fills and raster operations. Handles graphics objects in x, y and z and has
hardware Gouraud shading. Supports up to 1600x1200 at 76 Hz. Supports ISA, EISA, MCA
& VLB.
Artist 3GA
Artist claims that 2D acceleration is faster than the S3 968, and the 3GA also has a fast VGA
core. 3D features include accelerated 3D lines, flat shading, Gouraud shading and texture
mapping. Also has 16 bit Z-buffer, supports displays up to 2048x2048 and 1600x1200 @ 90 Hz.
ATI
High-end accelerators, based on 8514 design.
|
ATI-Mach8 |
Old, 8514-compatible |
|
ATI-Mach32 |
32-bit chip, supports 64-bit interface to video memory with 2Mb. Supports both DRAM and
VRAM. |
|
VLB speced at 33 MHz. |
|
|
ATI-Mach64CT |
Integrated RAMDAC. |
|
ATI-264VT |
64-bit Mach64 based accelerator with colour space conversion, video scaling, etc. for fast
video playback. Supports EDO DRAM. |
|
ATI-3D RAGE |
Mach64 based 2D accelerator with integrated 3D acceleration supporting texture mapping,
video textures, Gouraud shading, alpha blending and fog effects. Also supports video scaling in
hardware. |
There are also new Mach64 chips supporting SGRAM.
The Mach32 had fairly good previous generation performance. Mach64 was very efficient
(competing with the VRAM S3-964, and DRAMS3-864 respectively). The 264VT provides
excellent video playback. ATI has been quick to support the new SGRAM.
DOS performance is mediocre, even on recent chips. Great benefit from linear addressing mode
(VBE 2.0).
Avance Logic, Inc. and Acer Labs, Inc.
They both have the 'ALI' acronym. Acer Labs also makes good quality motherboard chipsets.
Avance Logic:
Low end chipsets, fairly common a while ago for PCI. Anybody know if these guys are still in the
video chipset business?

|
CL-GD542x series |
ISA and VL-bus chipset with a 32-bit DRAM interface, and a 16-bit host bus interface. These
were first generation VLB cards. All chips in this series have at least a limited form of
acceleration: fill, scroll, hardware cursor. |
|
CL-GD5420 |
Old, no truecolor DAC. ISA. |
|
CL-GD5421 |
Old, highcolor DAC. ISA. |
|
CL-GD5422 |
ISA. Has truecolor DAC. |
|
CL-GD5424 |
VLB support. |
|
CL-GD5425 |
TV output. |
The following chips have a 'BitBLT engine', which implies better
acceleration (opaque move, invert, text).
|
CL-GD5426 |
BitBLT chip. ISA, VLB. Max 2Mb. |
|
CL-GD5428 |
Slightly enhanced version of the 5426. |
|
CL-GD5429 |
Much faster version, appeared 1st Q 1995. Memory-mapped I/O and higher memory clock.
|
Performance was fair for its day, drops off at high resolutions/refresh, and gains with CPU.
DOS performance was mediocre. Upgrade to 2Mb buys very little (interlaced modes only).
CL-GD543x/4x series ('Alpine')
64-bit internal acceleration. 64-bit DRAM interface on 5434/6 but only with 2Mb memory. More
or less compatible with 5426/8.
|
CL-GD54(M)30 |
'Budget' version. Limited to 32-bit DRAM interface, even with 2Mb. A bit faster than the
5428. |
|
CL-GD5434 |
Has 64-bit interface to DRAM with 2Mb memory, 32bpp truecolor support. |
|
CL-GD5434-E |
Supports higher memory clock (60 MHz). |
|
CL-GD5436 |
Highly optimized 5434, high memory clock (EDO DRAM support), packed-24 acceleration.
|
|
CL-GD5440 |
5430 with video support (compressed YUV, zoom, motion video, "software MPEG").
|
|
CL-GD54M40 |
5440 with integrated filters. |
|
CL-GD5446 |
Essentially 5436 with video, PowerPC and V-Port support. |
The 543x had OK performance, pretty decent with 64-bit DRAM access (2MB), although
DOS performance was poor in the 5430/40. The 5446 is an efficient chip with excellent DOS
performance and motion video.
The 5434 was often equipped with only 1Mb, which severely crippled performance.
CL-G546x "Laguna" series
|
CL-GD5462 |
Supports RDRAM (Rambus). Video acceleration. |
|
CL-GD5464 |
3D accelerator. Creative will be using it. |
The CL-GD5480 is a chip announced for early 1997 supporting SGRAM clocked at 100 MHz,
with acceleration based on the "Alpine" BitBLT engine
Cirrus has also produced a number of laptop/notebook chipsets:
|
CL-GD6420/40 |
Chipset that shared some features with the CL-GD5420, but is not compatible. |
|
CL-GD62x5 |
More or less compatible with the CL-GD5420. |
|
CL-GD7543 |
Acceleration similar to the CL-GD5428, has some video support. |
|
CL-GD7548 |
32-bit DRAM interface, acceleration similar to the 5436, with video support |
|

Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Don't know much about this company, but the only product listed on their web pages is the
RTG3105i which is billed as an all-in-one chip integrating the DAC, BIOS and clock synthesizer.
Emphasis is on low cost and it will support a maximum of 512k. Could be found a few years ago.
S3, Inc.
Well-established for high-end PC graphics chipsets. Has moved into low-to-mid-end market.
Generally efficient accelerators. Wide variation in card designs (RAMDAC, clock generators
etc.). Acceleration interface based on IBM 8514. 8xx chips are DRAM-based, 9xx VRAM-based.

|
S3-805i |
Supports interleaved memory access with 2Mb DRAM. |
|
S3-928 |
Previous generation high-end chipset; 32-bit interface to VRAM for drawing. |
In their day, these were good performers.
64-bit Vision series
|
S3-864 |
64-bit DRAM interface with 2Mb memory. 64-bit acceleration. Variation in RAMDACs.
|
|
S3-964 |
64-bit VRAM interface. High resolution/color depth. |
|
Trio32 (732) |
Integrated chip with 32-bit DRAM interface. |
|
Trio64 (764) |
Integrated version of S3-864 (built-in RAMDAC and clock generator) not driver-compatible
with S3-864. |
|
Trio64V+ |
Trio64 with slightly faster 2D and video acceleration. |
|
Trio64UV+ |
Faster Trio64V+ with UMA support. |
|
S3-868 |
Enhanced 864 with video acceleration features. |
|

Supports DRAM/EDO. |
|
S3-ViRGE/VX |
Support for VRAM/WRAM. |
|
S3-ViRGE/GX |
SGRAM support. |
The early 64-bit DRAM chips had good performance (with 2MB). The engine got
progressively faster with new chips.
The S3-Virge and S3-Trio64UV+ have a revamped graphics engine more optimized for
Windows. The single-cycle EDO DRAM support provides relatively fast acceleration for DRAM
card. In a very profitable marketing move, one card maker has offered a Virge based card with
expensive single-cycle clocked EDO DRAM with optimized drivers, getting rave reviews, and so
created the market for its "cheap" EDO DRAM version.
DOS performance was fair on the S3-805, while S3-928 had good DOS performance for its
day. Even with later chips, it's not optimal in SVGA modes, where UniVBE/SDD or other VESA
drivers can signficantly improve DOS performance.
All the 64-bit chips take a big performance hit with only 1Mb. There has been variation in
memory timing (speed) between different card models.
Trio32/64 and 868 do not support packed-24 pixels (24 bpp), which generally implies no
16M color modes on a 1Mb card.

thanks to efficient BitBLTs. DOS performance was good except on an earlier revision
ET4000/W32p on PCI bus.

+ Metheus is out of the PC card business
* Techworks no longer produces video cards
** Western Digital's video division (Paradise) now owned by Philips
Notes:
(1) Some had the CL-GD5434 chip.
(2) S3-864 with 60 MHz MCLK.
(3) S3-864 with 50 MHz MCLK.
(4) Reported to have slower DOS performance than some other PCI
ET4000/W32p-based cards.
(5) Probably uses quite aggressive chip/memory timing.
(6) Supports motion video.
(7) Dual-port adapter.
(8) Quad-port adapter.
(9) MPEG support.
(10) 3D-acceleration.
(11) JPEG compression/decompression.
(12) Hardware-assisted image capture.
(13) Pan-and-zoom.
(14) Audio capture, VESA Media Channel port.
(15) Reported to have VESA Feature Connector that works in SVGA
resolutions (e.g. MPEG card), unlike some other 64-bit cards.
(16) 220 MHz DAC standard.
(17) Supports two monitors at full resolution for WinNT, Win95, ACAD
(18) Supports fixed frequency monitors
