인벤터 하드웨어 웹사이트 http://www.inventor-certified.com/graphics/에 보면 위의 카드는 인증되었으나, 3Dlabs 카드마다 이렇게 경고가 써 있습니다. 3DLabs is out of the workstation business. There is NO support.

1990년대까지만 해도 워크스테이션 그래픽 카드 시장을 주름잡던 3Dlabs사는 재정난을 견디지 못하고 몇 년 전 Creative Technology사로 넘어갔었습니다. 지난 2월, 워크스테이션 그래픽 카드 시장에서 손을 떼고, 그 대신 휴대용 장치에 중점을 둔다고 발표하면서 3Dlabs 사원 100명 정도가 해고되었습니다. 따라서, 3Dlabs 카드에 대한 지원이 중단되었습니다.

3DLABS to Refocus its 3D Graphics Business on Portable Handheld Device Market

SINGAPORE – February 24, 2006 – Creative Technology Ltd. (NASDAQ: CREAF), a worldwide leader in digital entertainment products, today announced that its subsidiary, 3Dlabs® Inc., Ltd. will refocus its 3D graphics business on the portable handheld device market and de-emphasize its professional workstation graphics business.

3Dlabs will transition from the shrinking professional workstation graphics market to focus on portable handheld devices which require intensive media processing for video, audio and increasingly powerful 3D graphics. This will result in a workforce reduction of approximately 100 3Dlabs employees.

As a result of the 3Dlabs refocus, Creative expects to take a one-time restructuring charge of approximately $9 million in the current fiscal quarter and a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $25 million for goodwill and intangible assets relating to 3Dlabs.
