XGI Technology Drivers Revisited
It has been one year to the day since XGI Technology had last released a Volari Linux display driver and about 14 months since we had first delivered word of XGI considering open-source 3D display drivers. Where do things now stand for XGI Technology? We will tell you all of the details today where things are for this Taiwan graphics company.
For the uninformed, XGI Technology was founded in 2003 after acquiring Trident Microsystems and the Silicon Integrated System's (SiS) graphics division. XGI Technology specializes in embedded and server GPUs in addition to their desktop line-up. For the longest time, their GPU selection primarily consisted of the Volari V3, V3XT, V5, and V8/V8 Ultra. Even for their time, these AGP graphics cards were fairly slow and had difficulty competing with the ATI and NVIDIA competition. One of the unique things for its time, however, was the Volari V8 Duo which had featured two GPUs on the same PCB. The Volari V8 Duo came before ATI's MultiGPU CrossFire Technology and NVIDIA's Scalable Link Interface.
