The 3DFX Voodoo was extremely popular during its time (1996). It was considered one of the first true 3D game cards. It offered only 3D acceleration and depended on a separate 2D accelerator.
It had the following specifications:
- It operated over the PCI bus
- It had a million transistors
- It had 4 MB of 64-bit DRAM
- It had a 50 MHz core clock speed
Voodoo provided texture mapping, z-buffering, and rasterization, but it still depended on the CPU for vertex transformations.
