STB Graphix Plus
The Graphix Plus card was STB's first graphics card - a CGA-compatible one released in 1983. It supported not only CGA, but high resolution monochrome graphics.

Also common to many graphics cards in 1984, this one provided a parallel printer port too, and a cost-option to fit a clock/calendar daughterboard - something PCs at the time did not automatically have.
STB also claimed this one ran at a 50% higher clock than IBM's standard CGA card, eliminating the annoying flicker or "snow" that was a common problem.
Board Revisions
I have no information on board revisions for the Graphix Plus.
Competition
Lots of third parties were attempting to compete with the very expensive IBM Color Graphics Adapter (CGA) board in 1984, adding what they could to differentiate their cards from others.
