3Dfx Voodoo modded with 12 MB of RAM and two texture mappers — reveals how revolutionary GPU was way ahead of its time

The article discusses a modded 3Dfx Voodoo graphics card with 12 MB of VRAM and an extra texture mapping unit, showcasing its advanced design ahead of its time. The modifications significantly enhance the card's performance, almost matching that of the 3Dfx Voodoo 2. The original Voodoo's innovative multi-point bus layout and support for SLI were highlighted, along with the limitations of the standard 4 MB VRAM configuration. The modded card, designed by SDZ, offers improved resolution and texture data space but lacks support for certain games relying on Direct3D. Testing the modified card with a Pentium II system showed substantial speed boosts, demonstrating the impact of the additional hardware upgrades.
