The Hercules Stingray 64 is based on the ARK Logic 2000MT chipset. It is a basic 2D-graphics card from 1996. In it's day the competition was slowly moving to 3D-functions although most of them we're basic, slow and often required a specific API (OpenGL, Direct3D wasn't mainstream).

The ARK2000 is the successor of the ARK1000-series, yet the ARK1000 (Paradise Bali 32) is slightly faster in all the DOS-benchmarks I have run with the exception of X-Vesa writes. You can compare the cards using this link. > Read more
