VideoLogic is a name few people would now instantly associate with graphics accelerators. In fact, its parent company, Imagination Technologies, was present at the birth of the PC 3D accelerator field in June 1996 with its PowerVR card.

The KYRO II chipset differs significantly from the other solutions on the market. It uses a technology known as tile-based rendering to achieve peak performance, rather then the brute force solutions employed by competing chips.

In the beginning 3dfx was the king of the 3D accelerator market with its Voodoo and Voodoo2 chipsets...

This isn't the first time we've looked at the tiny Esky-esque PictureMate from Epson and at the time as a standalone product it garnered a Recommended award. It's good to see it do the same in a comparative environment, walking off with a second recommendation from the Labs team.
