Dunno if this is the same card, but from <comp.graphics> the other day:

Q: The other day I was told of a card for the PC which will have a built
   in Z-Buffer.  I was told SGI will be/has come out with this.
A: I just saw an ad for Iris Vision board set from Silicon Graphics,
   if that's what you were talking about. It is a two-board set for
   PC/AT or MCA, and contains hardware for 2D and 3D graphics.
   It also supports SGI's GL. They say the price starts at $3,495.

That would be the hardware side of the package, at least. - kev
