It used the new graphics accelerator chip from S3, Vision864, which compared to the GXe's Vision928 had a wider 64-bit memory data path and came with motion video acceleration features including color space conversion and video scaling, though it used the slower Fast Page Mode DRAM memory (the 86C9xx series support VRAM while the 86C8xx series only support DRAM.
The card was also Number Nine's first to sport the Advanced Video Connector (AVC) socket, though this was rarely used.
Other cards that used the Vision864 include the SPEA V7-Mirage P-64, Diamond Stealth 64, Orchid Fahrenheit 64, and Genoa Phantom 64.
