The S3 ViRGE (Virtual Reality Graphics Engine) series, introduced in 1995–1996, was one of the first mainstream 2D/3D accelerator chipsets, succeeding the popular Trio64V+. While offering excellent 2D performance, its 3D capabilities were disappointing compared to contemporary accelerators, earning it the nickname "3D decelerator"
