ELSA(TM) Unveils Workstation Powerhouse GLoria
III at SIGGRAPH International Computer Graphics
Conference

ELSA and NVIDIA Partner to Deliver Real-Time Performance to Game Developers, Film
Animation Artists and Mechanical Designers

NEW ORLEANS, July 25 /PRNewswire/ -- ELSA, the leader in workstation graphics acceleration, today at the SIGGRAPH
trade show announced its exclusive agreement with NVIDIA (Nasdaq: NVDA - news) to provide the next-generation in its
best-selling GLoria line of mid-range workstation graphics cards -- the ELSA GLoria III. Based on NVIDIA`s new Quadro2 Pro
workstation solution, Gloria III will power through mechanical design, film animation and game content development with speed
and realism like never before, processing three times the number of triangles and textures than other boards in its class.

``ELSA has tapped into its twenty years of workstation graphics expertise,`` stated Charles Watson, director of product marketing
for ELSA, Inc. ``By combining our software application and platform knowledge with NVIDIA`s graphics processing power,
GLoria III will allow designers to create models, assemblies and animation in a fraction of time that equals more productivity and
reduced production costs.``

Unparalleled Application Performance

Building upon its resounding success with the GLoria II, ELSA`s GLoria III is designed to provide the hardware technology and
software optimization for unparalleled performance in OpenGL-based professional game development, digital content creation and
mechanical computer-aided design applications.

GLoria III will be loaded with graphics horsepower. Pumping 31 million triangles through its transform and lighting engine and
filling textures at a rate of one gigapixel per second (100 million/second), ELSA GLoria III will be offering nearly twice the
amount of the processing power of the original, Quadro-based GLoria II. Its four pixel pipelines each handle seven operations with
two textures per pixel, per pipeline, per clock for multi-texturing and other dramatic rendering effects. ELSA GLoria III is highly
scalable. Whether it is geometry processing, pixel filling, XY resolution, pixel depths or monitor size, ELSA GLoria III maintains its
performance advantage.

Populated with 64MB of DDR frame buffer memory, the fastest available, and a 350MHz RAMDAC, the Gloria III will support
up to 50-inch CRT monitors and 21-inch DVI flatscreen monitors with resolutions as high 2048x1536 at 85Hz in TrueColor.

Professional Software Advantage

GLoria owners are provided with custom performance drivers and utilities for today`s most well-known development software:
Autodesk`s AutoCAD and discreet`s 3Dstudio MAX. In addition, ELSA has spent countless hours developing drivers and testing
product compatibility with a full host of production software including: digital content creation applications such as Adobe
Photoshop, 3Dstudio MAX, SoftImage 3D, Lightwave 3D, Maya and XSI, and M-CAD software including AutoCAD 2000,
Pro/Engineer, IDEAS Master Series, Microstation SE, Solid Edge, SolidWorks and Unigraphics.

``Lightwave 3D customers have come to expect a marked improvement in performance when paired with ELSA`s GLoria
graphics accelerators,`` stated Brad Peebler, President of Newtek Inc. ``We are highly anticipating the ability to perform advanced
3D development and editing in real time with the new ELSA GLoria III.``

The Gloria line is bundled with ELSA WINman Suite, a full offering of ELSA custom software for complete monitor and
application control, and a leading software DVD player.

Pricing & Availability

The ELSA GLoria IlI AGP 64MB is expected to ship in September. Also announced today is the ELSA Synergy lll, an AGP
32MB workstation graphics board featuring the NVIDIA Quadro 2 MXR GPU. Both boards support all leading Windows
platforms, including Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0. ELSA`s workstation line can be found
through the company`s key distribution, online/offline retail partners and online via www.shopelsa.com or by calling
800-272-ELSA.
