The 8514 is an IBM graphics computer display standard supporting a display resolution of 1024×768 pixels with 256 colours at 43.5 Hz (interlaced), or 640×480 at 60 Hz (non-interlaced). 8514 was introduced at the same time as VGA and was later superseded by XGA.
8514 is an early hardware accelerated architecture with a standardised programming interface called the "Adapter Interface" or AI. This interface is also used by the XGA, IBM's Image Adapter/A, and clones of the 8514/A such as the ATI Technologies Mach 32.
