==PC-FX GA== [[File:PC-FXGA(C-BUS) 01.jpg|thumb|A PC-FX GA for the C-BUS]] NEC also released the PC-FX GA ("game accelerator") expansion cards for PC-9800 and DOS/V computers, allowing those computers to play PC-FX games. The PC-9800 version is a combination of two cards, while the DOS/V variant uses a single ISA card. Both cards integrate an additional 3D chipset (Kubota/Hudson HuC6273) over the regular PC-FX.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://nicole.express/2020/what-did-pcfx-deserve.html | first=Nicole Caroline | last=Branagan | title=What did we do to deserve the PC-FX? (and the PC-FX GA) | date=2020-11-20 | access-date=2021-05-01}}</ref> Unlike most computer graphics accelerators of the time, (as well as arguably the most comparable device to it, the [[Creative Labs]] [[3DO Blaster]]) the PC-FX GA outputs over a separate video connection rather than from the PC's interface itself. This makes use of the card somewhat cumbersome, as games are still booted using the DOS prompt, and therefore requiring one to use either a second monitor or an input switcher. The relatively high price of the card, coupled with the state of the PC-FX itself, resulted in the card selling poorly, below even the sales of the dedicated PC-FX unit. The card has since become highly sought after by vintage PC hardware collectors due to its scarcity.
