Quickdraw 3d 1.6 for mac os 92/14/2023 ![]() The original idea was that several of these pipeline chips would be combined on a single card and several cards in a system. The design is like a single render-pipeline with additional (seldom used) logic for single cycle boolean operation on the vertices. To add insult to injury, it did not support more than a total of 16 textures at any time. With 512k of onboard memory it is extremely limited despite its good performance. The QD3D Accelerator would have been a really good choice if it had more texture memory. The Matrox Millennium II is really fast for a 1996 design. The final result is a combination of the speed compared to the CPU-speed (Software renderer). I have taken about 300 measurements of 8 different cards and 3 different CPUs.
