The PowerVR PCX1 is a first-generation 3D graphics accelerator chip developed jointly by NEC and VideoLogic, released in 1996. It was one of the earliest consumer 3D accelerators, designed to compete with the 3dfx Voodoo and Rendition Verite. Unlike its competitors, the PCX1 was a 3D-only card that required a separate 2D VGA card, to which it connected via the PCI bus to send rendered data, eliminating the need for a external passthrough cable.
