The ELSA Winner 1000/T2D used the S3 Trio64V2/DX 2D 64-bit graphics accelerator chip. This was essentially the same as the ViRGE/DX (86C375). The Trio64V2 improved on the earlier 64V+ (which had a video acceleration engine) by including vertical bilinear filtering. It was, however, limited to using FPM or EDO DRAM instead of VRAM.

The chip supported resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 in 256 colours, 1024 x 768 in 64,000 colours, or 800 x 600 in 16.7 million colours, all at an 85 Hz refresh rate. While it could also use 1 MB or 4 MB of video memory, ELSA opted to create a 2 MB card with no option to expand.

The "Scenic Highway" feature connector at the top refers to an optional MPEG-1 audio/video decoder card which has the S3 Scenic/MX2 chipset on it.

 

Board Revisions

No information on board revisions is known for the ELSA Winner 1000/T2D.

As far as I am aware there is no material difference between the ELSA Winner 1000/T2D and Winner 1000/T2D-2.

Downloads

ELSA produced the WINMan Suite of tools for Windows 3.1, for the Winner, Victory, and GLoria cards. This allowed you to define new resolutions, set monitor
refresh rates, change the screen position and adjust the monitor timing, get information about your graphics card, set DirectX settings, and find out the current refresh and horizontal scan
rates.

These were replaced with the ELSA Windows Tools for Windows 9x.
