Things are tough right now ...

They're tough for everyone :( But when coronavirus hit here in the UK, the museum had to close its doors to the public, and we lost practically all our income overnight.

No visitors, no workshops, no events, no school visits... no income. We know that things are tough for everyone right now, but if you can afford to help us through these tough times please donate what you can.

There's over 36,000 exhibits here! That should keep you occupied for a bit - get searching!

Or come and get involved on our social media channels ...

Thank you.

Nvidia's NV1 launched

Nvidia's first product was the NV1, a PCI card which was sold under the name "Diamond Edge 3D". It featured a complete 2D/3D graphics core based upon quadratic texture mapping, VRAM or FPM DRAM memory, an integrated 32-channel 350 MIPS playback-only sound card, and a Sega Saturn compatible joypad port.

Several Sega Saturn games were ported to the NV1. The games included NASCAR Racing, Panzer Dragoon and Virtua Fighter, which was the first 3D game to run on the card.

The NV1 competed with many other cards on the market, including the S3 Graphics ViRGE, Matrox Mystique, ATI Rage, and Rendition Vérité V1000 cards.
