Today’s retro lesson:
A Voodoo2 can literally prevent your PC from POSTing… just because it doesn’t like the VGA card
Matrox = nope
ATI Rage = happy
ET6000 = perfect
1998 problems require 1998 solutions.

Playing Counter-Strike 1.5 (WON, before Steam) on a Pentium II 450MHz went about as well as you'd expect :P (and on 3dfx hardware as well)
Now in the style of a video from 2007.

All I want for 2026 is NVidia dying in shame for working with The Blackmail Company Palantir and we get 3DFx back.

Manchmal wünsche ich mir #3DFX zurück. Ist noch jemand Zeitreisender? 😎😅 Der Moment als die Lieblingsspiele glatt gerendert wurden, unbeschreiblich.

Windows 98 reimagined. 3dfx Banshee, Pentium II 400, Sound Blaster Live. System on CompactFlash, Pico-PSU, open acrylic case. Lightweight, silent, no vibrations. Quake 2 with Glide still hits different.

Tiens j'ai regardé par curiosité combien j'avais payé cette petite Voodoo 3 2000 PCI d'occasion il y a une quinzaine d'années, oui juste avant que la hype pour le retrocomputing n'arrive.
6,50€
Je vous laisse regarder les prix sur eBay aujourd'hui, mais on est passé de 1 chiffre à 3 chiffres […]

🎮 3Dfx Voodoo lives again!
A modded card with 12MB VRAM + dual texture mappers shows just how far ahead this GPU was in the ‘90s. Nearly Voodoo 2-level power!
Retro hardware never stops surprising 👏

Found the driver disc for my Voodoo 2 card way back in like 97. Unfortunately I have no idea where the actual card is now and the demos unsurprisingly won't run on my modern PC. I wanted to play G-Police.

No sh1t, I found it!! I thought it is gone! But it was there, all the time, guarded by dragon creatures of that era! I mean I found it in the attic 😀 #3dfx #Voodoo #glide #3Daccelerator

The front of a Silicon Graphics GE10 board part of the Reality Engine 2 option of the Sgi Onyx. The board features 12 intel i860 each coupled to a custom VLSI chip, probably a bridge, as well as two other custom VLSI chips in purple ceramic packages. The board is designed to occupy a standard 19" rack space.
You know you get into some heavy (literally) business when the geometry engine part of your GPU contains 12 #Intel #i860.
You thought #3Dfx was nut with the #Voodoo6000? Well, they weren't former #SiliconGraphics employees for nothing.

#GoingLive on #Owncast to play some Need for Speed II SE! Gonna be playing the #3dfx version of the game on period-accurate hardware. I'm not all that good, so come heckle me in the chat as I constantly crash and lose races.

@jillybeans will announce when I'm live!

Previous repairs to get a working setup, two Voodoo2 12MB cards
One card cleaned up - voltage reg misaligned from factory
Repairs done, awaiting final cleaning pass
Rears of both cards and showing FBI/CK EDO ram ICs replaced on the first card.
Also finished up some final repairs and cleaning on my Voodoo 2 SLI setup 12MB pair whilst I had the chance.
One card has cracked joints on the FBI/CK which I repaired but hadn't cleaned up and the other had early signs of failing FB ram (320ohms vs 3.3K) & some cracked ceramics.

Unreal castle flyby intro @ 1024x768 in Voodoo 2 SLI
Vent view of the bridge in use
Testing all good! Unreal castle flyby in Glide at 1024x768 (Only possible on Voodoo 2 in SLI mode).
Need to reroute the optical drive cable so it doesn't obscure the view :)

Front and back of my 3DFX Voodoo 2 SLI PCB
Assembled PCBs, cleaned & ready for testing.
3DFX Voodoo 2 SLI PCB installed in situ within my Windows 98 PC
My 3DFX Voodoo 2 SLI PCB in testing~
Made my own take on the 3DFX Voodoo 2 SLI bridge PCB as I wanted something to fit my build's aesthetic (And also, because I can).
Very pleased with the result!

2x 3DFX Voodoo 2 cards
Have been entirely unsuccessful in finding my two #3DFX Voodoo 2 cards nor my Yamaha XG ISA card.
Last seen in this photo I took of them. Annoying as I finally have the means to use them again.

Finally finished Unreal Tournament today! Still got to finish up the Playstation 2 later on. This was on a Pentium II 450MHz with a Voodoo 2 3D accelerator.
