Has anyone heard of a company called Pellucid and their IrisVision video cards? I received some literature from them and they sound great. I don't believe I've read any feedback from anyone about performance. They have 3DS drivers bundled with, so I'd think they must be getting some use somewhere. Just curious.

Try asking Pellucid @ 800/783-7472 or 408/987-0321. Kevin Krell – Computer Support Associates

Thanks Kevin. I just thought it unusual to have seen no one using these boards at all when they sound very fast. They _do_ run around $3500 but that price is probably not prohibitive for all on this forum (me, yes).

SGI dropped support for the IrisVision boards some time back – that's why folks who were *stuck* with them are relying on Pellucid to extend the life cycle. This *is* what we're talking about, right? Kevin Krell – Computer Support Associates

Sure is. I haven't spoken w/ anyone directly from Pellucid; so I'll give them a call. Guess they just haven't made their way into the 3DS community yet.

You might also want to check out Pellucid's (MediaVision actually) Pro Graphics 1280 board, which was announced and demonstrated at A/E/C. It does 1280x1024x24bit with ADI 4.2 TurboDLD Classic drivers for 3DS & ACAD and costs probably 1/3 the Irisvision, although don't quote me on the price, I think it is less than $1000. -Chris Panacea

Thanks. Did Pellucid fold, get bought out, change their name…? Guess I'll call for a little mo' info.

MediaVision acquired Pellucid. -Chris
