Intercad 3D Graphics Announce: ELSA Ships the First Affordable Workstation Graphics Accelerator Featuring Dual Monitor

Synergy III Combines Pure 2D Performance, High-Performance 3D and Dual Monitor Productivity

FRENCHS FOREST, NSW - February 8, 2001 - Intercad 3dGraphics announce the shipping of the Synergy lll professional graphics accelerator with application specific optimizations and dual monitor support at an affordable price. Based on NVIDIA's (Nasdaq: NVDA) Quadro2 MXR, the ELSA Synergy lll offers unmatched value and dramatically improved productivity for everyone from performance conscious PC enthusiast to design and animation professionals. The ELSA Synergy lll has the enhanced capability of supporting two monitors with a single board.

ELSA continues to build upon its exclusive partnership with NVIDIA to provide the ELSA Synergy lll, which includes 32MB of SDR memory and a 350MHx RAMDAC. Boasting 25 million triangles per second and 400 million pixels per second, the ELSA Synergy lll will plow its way through complex architectural design and game development projects. And with dual monitor support, coupled with performance at an affordable price point, the ELSA Synergy lll leads the pack within the entry-level workstation graphics market.

"ELSA continues to offer industry-leading graphics solutions without sacrificing quality or draining the user's wallet, said Peter Orczykowsky, Technical Director of Intercad. "Add that to the pure productivity of dual monitor capability and customized application drivers, all for under $1200, and you've got the new category leader."

By having the option of dual monitor support, users can reduce design time by having a content editing window on one monitor and a time-line editor, color palette editor or web browser in another. Traditionally in the past, a dual monitor solution with this level of power was achieved by purchasing two separate graphics boards. With the ELSA Synergy lll, users will cut costs and production time dramatically. Users have the option of VGA or DVI-I, VGA and DVI-I or dual VGA with the included DVI-I to VGA adapter.

Professional Software Advantage The ELSA Synergy llI is designed for use with professional applications such as AutoCAD, Dreamweaver, Lightwave 3D, Microstation, Photoshop, Premier and 3D Studio MAX.

ELSA bundles unique drivers and utilities for performance and productivity in the leading applications such as AutoCAD and 3DS MAX. PowerDRAFT for pure 2D drafting performance in AutoCAD. QuadroVIEW for real-time editing, lighting and animation in AutoCAD. MAXtreme for in-the-viewport pure performance and realistic rendering features.

The Synergy line is bundled with a suite of custom software for complete monitor and application control, a leading software DVD player and a six-year warranty.
