Anyone ever seen a Trident Blade XP 128-bit variant before? Lookin' fer one:

I had one of these Trident Blade 3D:

It was pretty terrible. I only used it for a a 2D card in my server. The 3D driver was not ported to Windows 2000 (like mos failed 3D chipsets of that era), but the driver worked fine in 2D.

I finally retired it when I upgraded my Celeron 533A@800 desktop.

Here's a review of the AGP version. Those performance results put it in-line with my Rendition v2200, a midrange card released in 1997.

I used to have one of these cards as well, it was hot garbage. It ended up in a HL server for a time until the server was upgraded to something more modern and then lost to time.
