  • NVIDIA RIVA TNT POWERS OVER 30 TITLES at ECTS '98 Submitted By: Edelman Ltd Saturday, 5 September 1998
    NVIDIA RIVA TNT POWERS OVER 30 TITLES AT ECTS '98 Submitted by: Edelman Ltd Saturday, 5 September 1998 Messiah and Direct3D Version of Unreal Among First to Premier on RIVA TNT ECTS, LONDON SEPTEMBER 5, 1998 At ECTS in London, the NVIDIA Corporation today announced that over 30 game titles, including the Direct3D version of Unreal, will be shown on the RIVA TNT in Microsoft's booth (#N390) at ECTS, in London, September 6-8. Shiny Interactive will also premiere their hot new game title Messiah using the key features of the RIVA TNT. The RIVA TNT 3D processor, which recently ranked first on the 3D and 2D graphics benchmark tests conducted by Mercury Research Inc., is directly matched for Microsoft’s DirectX 6.0 application programming interface (API). "The RIVA TNT is the first 3D processor designed to offer the most complete set of features to match Microsoft’s new DirectX 6.0," said Michael Hara, director of strategic marketing at NVIDIA. "Developers can now fully exploit the capabilities of the API and the RIVA TNT and no longer have to compromise visual quality and performance." Messiah by Shiny Entertainment will debut on RIVA TNT in the Interplay booth. Some of the hottest new game titles being shown in the Microsoft booth running on RIVA TNT include: Unreal by Epic; Global Domination and ODT by Psygnosis; Motocross Madness by Microsoft/Rainbow; Colin McRae Rally from Codemasters; ActuaSoccer 3 by Gremlin; Wargasm by DID/Infogrammes; Combat Flight Simulator by Microsoft; Warzone by Eidos and Hostile Waters by Rage Interactive. The RIVA TNT processor, with its 32-bit true color TwiN Texel multi-texturing architecture, is designed to deliver two pixels-per-clock performance and to provide consumers with a stunningly realistic 2D and 3D graphics experience.
