The 3dfx Voodoo wasn’t the first 3D card, or the most complete. It was the first that made games feel smooth. Four years later, Nvidia bought what was left of the company. What went wrong? #Voodoo #Gaming

I had one. I really remember the click as you booted a 3D game as the S3 graphics card switched off and display switched over to the Voodoo1. It has a cable bridging the display connection on the back. The Voodoo2 could do 2D graphics as well which killed quite a lot of cards like the S3.
