ELSA Presents High-End Graphics Systems for 3D Visualization at CGIX 98 in Amsterdam

GLoria graphics boards provide 3D workstation performance for the PC

With high-performance graphics boards of the GLoria series, ELSA is present at the new European computer graphics event, the CGIX 98 in Amsterdam. From January 21 to 24, the exhibition and the accompanying symposium will provide a professional overview of state-of-the-art computer-based visualization, animation and simulation.

At its own booth in hall 9 of the RAI Exhibition Centre (booth no. 708), ELSA will present the latest GLoria graphics boards with powerful applications like 3D-Studio MAX 2.0, LightWave 3D and Softimage 3D. Additional computers equipped with the 128-bit graphics board ELSA VICTORY Erazor will allow animation sequences to be seen in action.

As Germany's leading manufacturer of computer graphics and data communications products with subsidiaries in the USA, Taiwan and Japan, ELSA has built up a reputation with innovative high-quality products, outstanding driver software and exemplary service and support. ELSA graphics boards are, for example, standard parts of professional graphics workstations from leading PC manufacturers like Compaq and DELL.

"For ELSA, CGIX 98 is a suitable forum in northern Europe that allows us to present the power of our graphics boards to a demanding and professional international public," said Esther Berend, International Marketing Manager at ELSA. "This gives us the opportunity to pay attention to the individual needs and interests of the customers."

Even after the official exhibition hours there will be an opportunity for more contacts: Together with 3Dlabs, the world's leading manufacturer of high-end 3D graphics processors, ELSA invites all exhibition visitors to a Happy Hour on each exhibition day (Wednesday to Friday) from 6pm to 7pm.
