The 3Dfx Voodoo 2 - Taking 3D to the Next Level!
4,805The original 3Dfx Voodoo Graphics accelerator completely transformed the world of 3D gaming, but by late 1997 the competition was beginning to heat up. How do you improve on such a legendary card? You double down on EVERYTHING. The Voodoo 2 improves upon the original in pretty much every way and even allows two cards to work together in SLI for truly next-level 3D performance.
