ArtX was a company founded in 1997 by Wei Yen, and was staffed by a group of twenty former Silicon Graphics engineers.[1] The company was focused on delivering a graphics chip for IBM PC compatibles that was both high performance and cost effective, hoping to compete with then-dominant 3dfx and fledgling competitors such as nVidia.[2] The appointed President of ArtX was David Orton, formally the head of the advanced graphics division in Silicon Graphics.
