Ancient 3dfx Voodoo2 graphics card coaxed into working in modern AMD Ryzen 9 9900X-powered Windows 11 system — 12MB relic from 1998 successfully runs Quake 2 but crumbles in SLI configuration

A TechTuber successfully got a 1998 Creative 3dfx Voodoo2 12MB graphics card to work in a modern AMD Ryzen 9 9900X-powered Windows 11 system, running Quake 2 and passing benchmarks. The experiment involved using a 64-bit driver from 2006 on a system from 2024, showcasing the compatibility of old hardware with new setups. While the Voodoo2 worked well with Windows 98 and 10 32-bit, a more complex process was needed for Windows 10 64-bit due to experimental drivers. However, attempting to run two Voodoo2s in SLI configuration in Windows 11 led to system instability, highlighting the limitations of mixing vintage hardware with modern setups.
