S3 ViRGE

The S3 ViRGE/GX2 chip fully supported the AGP standard. The big advantage is the presence of a TV output and a standard set of filters that provide a high-quality image on the television screen.

3D acceleration is represented by the following functions:
Flat and Gouraud shading
3D texture mapping
Perspective correction
Bi-linear and tri-linear texture filtering
MIP Mapping
Depth cueing, fogging, alpha blending
Video texture mapping
Z-buffering

It is worth noting that S3 products have not proven themselves to be the best in DirectX games, and the developed set of software tools for 3D graphics, S3D, has not been widely used. Additional possibilities are opened by the PowerStrip program, which optimizes the operation of the S3 ViRGEGX/2 chip both in 2D/3D graphics and when using a television monitor. The program theoretically eliminates some of the problems when working with the AGP bus in Win95/NT 4.X.
