4000
3D Graphics Accelerator
The industry-recognized leader in 3D graphics on the desktop
Following a tradition of graphics
excellence spanning three decades, Intense3D developed the Wildcat 4000
3D
graphics accelerator. It is the first in a family of Wildcat graphics
products based on Intense3D’s innovative
Wildcat 3D Graphics Technology and sets the standard today for 3D
performance on the desktop.
Far outpacing competing technologies, the Wildcat 4000 empowers users
across the visual computing
spectrum to achieve new, unparalleled levels of productivity with the
most complex visual data sets.
While fulfilling the most demanding
performance requirements, the Wildcat 4000 is exceedingly
affordable- even for users with overriding budget concerns. As a result,
its popularity is soaring
across all the visual computing markets. It is recognized today by
industry experts and graphics
professionals as the foremost graphics accelerator technology currently
shipping in desktop systems.
