Fastest 3D game play. Period.

• Based on the revolutionary new Voodoo2 Graphics™ chipset from 3Dfx Interactive™
• Loaded with 12MB of super high performance memory for maximum performance
• Up to 50 billion operations and 3 million triangles per second for 3D processing as much as 3 times faster than the original Voodoo Graphics chipset!
• Works with your existing graphics card to deliver the fastest 3D gameplay ever

Specifications

Hardware

• Total of 8MB or 12MB high-performance single-cycle DRAM.
• 12MB model arranged in a 4MB frame buffer and two 4MB texture stores
• 8MB model arranged in a 4MB frame buffer and two 2MB texture stores
• 1 Pixelfx² and 2 Texelfx² processors
• 192-bit, multi-way interleaved memory interface providing more than 2.2G/second total bandwidth
• Compatible with any graphics card, including AGP cards, using video pass-through
• Single slot PCI card capable of 33MHz and 66MHz operation
• Can be connected to a second card for 2x performance (SLI mode)

Performance

• Effective 180 million two-texture, bilinear-filtered, MIP mapped texel/second fill rate
• 360 million two-texture, bilinear-filtered, MIP mapped texels per second in dual-board configuration
• Triangle-based raster engine with Gouraud modulation

3D Rendering

• 16-bit integer and floating point Z-buffering with biasing
• Full hardware setup of triangle parameters
• Automatic hardware-based back-face culling
• Support for multi-triangle strips and fans
• Transparency and chroma-key support with dedicated color mask
• Alpha blending on source and destination pixels
• Sub-pixel and sub-texel correction to 0.4x0.4 resolution
• 24-bit color scaling to native 16-bit RGB buffer using 4x4 or 2x2 ordered dither matrix
• Per-pixel and per-vertex atmospheric fog and haze effects simultaneous with alpha blending
• Polygon edge anti-aliasing

3D Texture Mapping

• First PC-based 3D game accelerator with single-pass trilinear filtering
• True, divide-per-pixel perspective correction
• True, per-pixel level-of-detail MIP mapping, with biasing and clamping
• RGB modulation, addition and blending to combine textures and shaded pixels
• Texture compositing for multi-texture special effects
• Support for 14 texture map formats
• 8-bit paletted textures with full-speed bilinear filtering
• Texture compression through narrow-channel YAB format

3D Modes Supported

The 640x480 and 800x600 modes use a 16-bit Z-Buffer. When using one 3D Blaster Voodoo2, the 1024x768 mode does not use a Z-buffer. Using two 3D Blaster Voodoo2 cards in SLI mode adds a Z-buffer to the 1024x768 resolution.
