Trident Blade3D IGP - MS-DOS and Windows98SE Integrated Graphics 3D Gaming Test

Join me for a look at an Integrated Graphics Processor (IGP) from Trident Microsystems. This was integrated into a few Via chipsets between 1998 and 2001. It’s called the Blade3D (but goes under CyberBlade i7, CyberBlade i1 and some other names). I’ll cover the history and background of this interesting chipset and put it through its paces in MS-DOS and Windows98SE benchmarks and games. For something different I am going to compare some results to earlier IGP video projects I’ve uploaded.
