Prt 1 - Unknown Historic 3D Accelerator? Artist 2000i Story

#VintageVideoCard #Vintage3D #RetroGaming #RetroComputing Part 1 - Artist Graphics - A video card maker ahead of it's time... I received a cool 25lb box of random ISA/PCI cards from the 80s-90s from someone in Georgia who was getting rid of them all. In there was a plethora of cool stuff but one that stuck out for me was the Artist Graphics 2000i PCI. Never seen a card with 72pin ram modules before. A quick google netted me nothing all that interesting... but left me wondering more. I still had SO many questions... ** Is it really a 3D accelerator? ** How did they compare to others like them of the era? ** What was it like to use one? ** Why is there no reviews, details or anything about 3GA based cards online? I'll answer ALL that and more!! ** I learned the creator went to jail for tax evasion. ** I discovered a historic exchange between Artist Graphics and Electronic Arts that led to the 3GA getting Argonaut BRender, Criterion Software RenderWare, Rendermorphics Reality Lab, Intel 3DR, OpenGL and more. ** I found the manual, different versions of the drivers and even early magazine ads and interviews with the company and the history behind why the company started creating graphics cards in the first place. But mostly... I found a gaming card that's pretty incredible for the era (stay tuned!) http://thisoldtech.ca/the-saga-of-the...
