When looking at 3d Acceleration cards on PCs, I believe PowerVR (and 3dfx) was released in 1996. Beforehand would have demonstrated their technology at conferences, shows.. with demos and adverts before they were released... this means SGI must have seen this coming as early as 1994.
In as little as 4 years... Graphics Cards were required for PC gamers!
