The idea that you could actually run 3D-accelerated games at 1,024 x 768 (786,432 pixels), when the first 3dfx Voodoo cards could only run at 640 x 480 (307,200 pixels), seemed astonishing.
The last gasp for Voodoo came with the release of the Voodoo4 4500 and Voodoo5 5500, which were based on the VSA-100 chip, which also powers this new custom graphics card.
The Voodoo 5 6000 was 3DFX’s final GPU design before the company was sold to Nvidia. According to Wikipedia, there were a little over 100 of the experimental graphics cards created in 2000.
However, the 3dfx Voodoo (often referred to as Voodoo 1 later on) was not without fault. Since this was a 3D graphics accelerator, those who bought it still had to buy a separate 2D card.

The custom "VoodooX" graphics card is based on the 3dfx VSA-100 GPU, which was used across a few different 3dfx graphics cards including the 3dfx Voodoo 4 4500 and Voodoo5 5500 graphics cards.
Greybeards like your author recall the original 3dfx (then stylized as 3Dfx) Voodoo Graphics card with immense nostalgia. It was the card that brought the term "3D accelerator" to the mainstream ...
For those still holding onto a 90s-era 3Dfx Voodoo graphics card for retro gaming, it may be possible to increase the RAM to make the cards more powerful than they were when new.
Hello wise Arsians!I'm not very literate when it comes to video cards and I need some help. I have an old Pentium 200MHz with MMX technology (ooooh, ahhhh) that has a 3Dfx Voodoo 3 2000 16MB PCI ...
For the uninitiated, the Voodoo 4 was a graphics card by 3Dfx built on a 250nm process and based on the VSA-100 graphics processor. The card supported DirectX 6.0 in its Napalm 26-220 variant.
