***Quantum3D Announces Relationship with NVIDIA for Support on
Current and Next Generation Products
(January 10)

Quantum3D announced it has a relationship with NVIDIA in which
NVIDIA will supply graphics chips to Quantum3D for the company's
3dfx-based graphics subsystems - currently employed in Visual
Simulation and Training (VST), Embedded Graphics Subsystems (EGS)
and Out-of-Home Entertainment (OHE) Visual Computing Systems.
Under the relationship, NVIDIA has committed to work with
Quantum3D to supply Quantum3D with 3dfx graphics chips (when
acquired from 3dfx) that are incorporated in the company's
existing VST and OHE focused product lines. In addition, the
companies have separately agreed to work together on next
generation products that will incorporate NVIDIA graphics
technologies into Quantum3D value-added solutions for VST and EGS
applications.

Quantum3D currently utilizes 3dfx VSA-100 chipsets in the
company's PC-based Image Generator (PC-IG) - AAlchemy - already
chosen by Visual Simulation & Training customers- including
Lockheed Martin Information Systems, Rikei, Soft Reality, SDS
International, Boeing, Renault, Thomson Training Systems,
Lantech, INDRA and Adacel. And both VSA-100 and Voodoo3
technologies are used by Quantum3D in the company's Graphite
Visual Computing System and other products employed in VST, EGS
and OHE markets.

NVIDIA and Quantum3D already have a history of working well
together. Both the Quantum3D AAlchemy and Graphite systems are
available with NVIDIA-based graphics subsystems-- including the
GeForce2 MX and Ultra products. The two companies are now
committed to mutually implementing a smooth transition strategy
that will enable Quantum3D to develop value-added solutions based
on NVIDIA silicon in the future for VST.
