The Fremont, California-based Sparc workstation developer Aries Research Inc has developed a couple of new graphics accelerator boards which are based on Sun Microsystems Inc’s Turbo GXP chip set. The TGX200 comes with 2Mb of video RAM and costs $3,100, while the TGX400 with 4Mb video RAM costs $3,400. Both have up to 1,920 by 1,080 resolution, offer graphics performance of up to 1.6m two-dimensional vectors per second and 440,000 three-dimensional vectors per second. They are to be available this month.
