This thing did 3d (looks like maybe lines only?), and I didn’t realize there were 3d graphics cards in 1984. I googled a whole bunch of 3d graphics hardware history before finding an article that mentioned the IBM PGC - this one said the PGC is IBM’s first GPU, and noteworthy in the history of GPUs. https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/history-of-computers,4518-34.html https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/history-of-computers,45...
- rjsw 4y agoThe IBM info on that wiki page may be fine but at least one of the cards listed as a clone is not.
