The Radius PowerView is an external graphics card built on a TMS34010 that has SCSI-in, SCSI-out, and then VGA and DB-15 connectors for you to hook up a PC or Mac monitor to it.

They were all powered by the TMS34010 CPU, a 32bit CPU/GPU hybrid designed by TI in 1986. They ran it at 6.25mhz.

The Aura Scuzzygraph, Radius PowerView, and Radius SuperView external SCSI graphics cards for Apple Macintosh computers are based on the TMS34010. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TMS34010
