O wait a minute, you're right!
I'd kinda completely forgotten about the Trio3D 😊 .
It seems to indeed be a rebadged Virge. Maybe they just cut out the Virge name because it was known as a 3d decelerator? And having it called a Trio wouldn't get in the way of their Savage line?
I never had much interest in the Trio3D's, mainly because the ones I've found were all AGP 2x and, thus, one of THE crappiest AGP cards ever produced and on top of that, won't even work in AGP 8x boards if you ever needed an ultra low powerconsumption graphics card for use in a server or something.

Haha! I think I'll spend my money and energy on something I consider to be more worth it 🤣 😜
But whenever I see a Virge (especially one with more then 2MB of memory) I'll usually bring it anyway as Virges are awesome testing cards 😁
