S3 Trio

The S3 Trio range were popular video cards for personal computers and were S3's first fully integrated graphics accelerators.

As the name implies, three previously separate components were now included in the same ASIC: the graphics core, RAMDAC and clock generator.

The increased integration allowed a graphics card to be simpler than before and thus cheaper to produce.

The Trio64 and 64V+, first appeared in 1995, are essentially fully integrated solutions based upon the earlier Vision 864 and 868 accelerator chipsets.

Like the 868, the 64V+ has a video acceleration engine that can perform YUV to RGB color space conversion and horizontal linear filtered scaling.
