  1. Played a bit of #quake today on my first pc. Just had to clean the mouse ball first. #retroGaming #3dfx

  2. Fatal Racing / Whiplash, especially its 3dfx Glide-enhanced version, was a milestone in stunt racing, blending destructive gameplay with groundbreaking 3D graphics. You experience the thrill of high-speed chaos, backed by a legendary soundtrack and hardware that pushed the limits of 90s PC gaming.

  7. Ältere Generationen unter uns kennen diese Legende noch "3dfx Voodoo".

    Damals war das für viele ein echtes Upgrade. Spiele sahen plötzlich besser aus, liefen flüssiger und 3dfx war einer der Pioniere im 3D-Gaming.

    Welche Voodoo hattet ihr damals und was war eure letzte Karte?

  13. Roughly 25 years ago I bought a #Voodoo 5 graphics card, about 10 minutes before #3dfx went tits up. I was gutted after spending £200 on something that wasn’t going to be supported for too much longer.

    After getting rid of that PC years ago and having seen the amount of money these are worth today, I’m wondering if the box of old shit I’ve got in the attic might actually be worth something.

    Anybody want some old VGA cables and a PS/2 mouse missing the ball?

  14. Heh! Never seen the original. Well, neither #2 but that was all the hype for a while. I got a Voodoo 3 2000 PCI back in the day. I still have it somewhere and I wish that I didn't get rid of its box. Oh, well.

  17. Por mí actividad aquí, creo que se nota, y se va a seguir notando, que tengo un fin de semana tranquilo, pudiendo dedicar tiempo a mis aficiones.

    Hoy he empezado a leer un libro que compré en #RetroParla hace casi 2 años, directamente en el puesto que tenía montado su autor, Martín Gamero. Quizas en el próximo evento pueda decirle que ya me lo he leído 😅. Fantástica persona, por cierto, y siempre nos echamos unas buenas charlas.

    No lo he dicho, el libro es "El legado de 3dfx".

  18. Hat jemand ganz zufällig ein Handbuch für die Creative Labs 3D Blaster Voodoo 2 über? Hab nach langem Suchen endlich die Box gefunden und jetzt alles bis auf das Handbuch zusammen, damit meine Voodoo2 wieder komplett ist. 🙂

    Edit: ist immer noch aktuell...

  19. Grand Theft Auto (1997) is the trailblazing action-adventure game that introduced open-world chaos and criminal freedom to gaming. Developed by DMA Design, it lets you rise through the underworld in three fictional cities. The ECTS Competition demo is a 3Dfx-exclusive slice of gaming history, offering a modified, streamlined mission and a rare look at the game’s pre-release evolution.

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

  28. 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.

  30. #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!

  31. 之前聊到單卡多GPU的產品
    今天來聊聊單卡多GPU的鼻祖

    #ATI Rage Fury MAXX

    當然我還是要強調一下
    這邊說的是 PC 端的鼻祖
    當然我也可能有遺漏
    歡迎幫忙補充

    雖然早在 1998 年 #3dfx 就推出了 3D 加速卡 #Voodoo 2
    並推出了 #SLI 技術使其可在兩張卡串聯的方式下運作

    但真正第一張做到雙顯示晶片整合到同一張卡的產品
    則是1999年的 ATI Rage Fury MAXX
    串聯了兩顆 ATI Rage Pro 128 晶片
    而串聯的技術正如其名
    稱為 #MAXX
    這個 MAXX 也被部分人認為是 ATi 以及後續 #AMD #CrossFire 技術的前身

    而 3dfx 則是到了 2000 年才推出Voodoo5 5500
    然而技術環境劇烈改變
    已然不是只依靠核心堆疊就能追上跟其他廠商效能的差異

    順帶一提
    3dfx 後續被 #nvidia 收購
    不過兩者的 SLI 技術
    只有簡寫相同而已

    #Allen講看看 #retro
    #台灣Vtuber #Vtubers #Vtuber #Taiwan

  32. Behold the beauty of 3dfx Voodoo 2 graphics cards in SLI.

    In 1998, by connecting two Voodoo 2 cards together, you would experience faster 3D graphics performance, but also increase the max resolution from 800x600 to 1024x768.

    Scan-Line Interleave (SLI) technology was first introduced on the Voodoo 2 for PCs and later when NVIDIA purchased 3dfx, they too started using the technology on their own GPUs.

    #retrogaming #3dfx #sli #voodoo2 #gpu #retrocomputers #nvidia

  33. #3DFX dominaba en su día con su #API propietaria #Glide. El desarrollo de #OpenGL (y más tarde de #Direct3D para atarlos a todos en las Ventanas) permitió a otros fabricantes de tarjetas gráficas como #NVIDIA que los desarrolladores de software pudieran utilizar hardware alternativo manteniendo la compatibilidad.

    Es irónico que NVIDIA ahora haga con #CUDA lo mismo que hacía 3DFx con Glide. Bueno, no lo es. Es el cuento de siempre.

  34. ReactoS is an open source operating system working toward Windows compatibility. So far it's mostly only compatible with really old software, but now there's experimental support a discrete GPU... an old one (3dfx Voodoo 5). phoronix.com/news/React-OS-Voo
