The SPARCstation ZX was identical to the SPARCstation LX, with the addition of a Sun ZX accelerated 3D framebuffer card. This was a double-width, double-decked SBus card providing 24-bit color and a performance of 440,000 3D vectors per second and 275,000 triangle mesh/second, when coupled with the SPARCstation ZX. It was intended to compete chiefly with Silicon Graphics and their Indigo workstation, with Sun claiming that the SPARCstation ZX outperformed the latter's Indigo XS/24 in terms of triangle mesh/second.
