The Mystique and Mystique 220 are 2D, 3D, and video accelerator cards for personal computers designed by Matrox, using the VGA connector. The original Mystique was introduced in 1996, with the slightly upgraded Mystique 220 having been released in 1997. ==History==
Matrox had been known for years as a significant player in the high-end 2D graphics accelerator market. Cards they produced were excellent Windows accelerators, and the company's Millennium card, released in 1995, excelled at MS-DOS performance as well. With regard to 3D acceleration, Matrox stepped forward in 1994 with their ''Impression Plus''. However, that card only could accelerate a very limited feature set, and was primarily targeted at CAD applications. The Impression could not perform hardware texture mapping, for example, requiring Gouraud shading or lower-quality techniques. Very few games took advantage of the 3D capabilities of Impression Plus, with the only known games being the three titles that were bundled with the card in its '3D Superpack'〔Byte Dec 1994()〕 CD bundle: 3D fighting game, ''Sento'' by 47 Tek; 3D space combat game, ''IceHawk'' by Amorphous Designs, and Specter MGA (aka ''Specter VR'') by Velocity. The newer Millennium card also contained 3D capabilities similar to the Impression Plus, and was nearly as limited. Without support for texturing, the cards were very limited in visual enhancement capability. Millennium received slightly more game support, but primarily only in bundled titles such as NASCAR Racing that only received slight performance improvements with little quality gain. The answer to these limitations, and Matrox's first attempt at targeting the consumer gaming PC market, would be the Matrox Mystique. Based heavily on the Millennium but with various additions and some cost-cutting measures, Mystique would offer gamers more of what they wanted for new 3D game titles.
